If you have the right skills, qualifications and an employer has either approval in principle to hire foreigners or can demonstrate to New Zealand Immigration Service (NZIS) that no suitably qualified Kiwis can be found then age isn't really an issue as far as temporary work permits go. However, for permanent residency applications one cannot be over 55 years of age.

You are probably thinking of the work-holiday-visa for those 18-30.

I hope this helps.
