job search when we get there?
Hi,
Has anyone been to NZ on a holiday visa, stayed to find a job and got a visa from there? We would love to do this (have friends in the north island) and would love to hear of anyone's experience good or bad.
Both have good trades but not on LT skills list etc. so only 115 points.
Thanks

Re: job search when we get there?
Can I ask you to clarify? An ordinary holiday/tourist visa or a working holiday visa - unfortunately we are too old to get a WHV both in good jobs but also not on LTSSL eventhough we would have 130 points - probably wouldnt get picked without job offer.
Any additional pointers would be appreciated as planning to go for a few weeks in July (cant really go longer as family etc)
thanks
