Working holiday craze grows bigger

Visa programs for New Zealand, Australia allow Chinese visitors to take part-time jobs

New Zealand is expecting strong demand for its 2015-16 Working Holiday Scheme for Chinese citizens, which opens for application on May 19, according to the country's immigration office.

Last year, the Immigration New Zealand website crashed due to the volume of traffic when working holiday visa applications for Chinese opened, and the quota of 1,000 visas was filled within nine hours.
