00:00:02
Hello guys, welcome back to my channel.
00:00:08
In the last video, I have answer a Q&A session
about I have been staying a year in New Zealand.
00:00:15
Today I am going to talk more about Working
Holiday Visa.
00:00:19
As now working holiday scheme seems to be
more famous compare to before.
00:00:24
So I have listed out everything about the
working holiday visa and I am going to talk
00:00:30
about it today.
00:00:32
Here is the list that I am going to talk about
today, which are
00:00:35
Who will be suitable for this scheme?
00:00:36
How much does it cost?
00:00:37
Why a living fund?
00:00:38
How much have I earned?
00:00:39
What are the do's and the don't?
00:00:40
Duration in applying and getting a visa.
00:00:41
What should I do after getting the visa?
00:00:42
When should we fly over?
00:00:43
What type of job should we expect?
00:00:44
Which part of the island should we go?
00:00:45
Worth flying or not?
00:00:46
How has WHV changed me?
00:00:47
Who will be more suitable for this scheme?
00:00:48
There are a few reasons why people choose
to go for a working holiday visa.
00:00:53
first, of course, is they want to explore
New Zealand and also they want to earn some
00:01:00
money to travel around in new Zealand.
00:01:03
Second, is that they want to come over and
earn some money.
00:01:07
Third, before they want to get a work visa
here they wanted to explore New Zealand first
00:01:13
which is why they get a working holiday visa
and then it will be easier for them to convert
00:01:19
to a work visa.
00:01:20
The fourth is that they wish to get a working
holiday visa and then they go for their studies
00:01:27
after getting enough money.
00:01:29
Ya, so that is four types of people.
00:01:32
And I will not say who will be more suitable
for this scheme as I will brief through everything
00:01:39
and I will conclude in the last part.
00:01:44
So the most important part is the cost, right?
00:01:47
What is the cost of coming to New Zealand
by getting a working holiday visa?
00:01:52
We will start with how much it costs in applying
for a working holiday visa.
00:01:57
So, now as I showed it is costing 420 New
Zealand dollars for now.
00:02:01
If you convert to Malaysia ringgit it will
be RM1169.37.
00:02:11
This is the basic amount that you need in
order for you to apply for the visa.
00:02:17
So, the next one will be the living fund.
00:02:20
As you guys can see, there is a living fund
as a minimum requirement from the government
00:02:26
which is like 2250 New Zealand dollars, it
is roughly around six thousand Malaysia ringgit
00:02:34
and some of you guys might be saying oh this
is a bit too much but I will let you guys
00:02:42
know about that it is fair enough to get this
amount as a minimum requirement.
00:02:48
So, I will try to break down some of the expenses
if you are living here.
00:02:54
I will start with the rental as this is the
most basic thing.
00:02:58
For the rental is depend on where you live,
what type of houses do you live in and which
00:03:04
part you live in.
00:03:05
For example, whether you live in the north
or the south.
00:03:09
You are living in a share house or an apartment.
00:03:13
Some maybe come with an electricity and water
bill but some maybe not.
00:03:18
Also depending on which part you stay in,
maybe in a more rural area or more city area.
00:03:25
So, It depends.
00:03:26
But I will come to a figure of maybe around
220 for a week.
00:03:31
For the food I will just go for 50 dollars
as I assume that you guys getting a working
00:03:37
holiday visa is that you guys want to save
some money.
00:03:41
Okay, so I will set like 50 New Zealand dollars
for a week.
00:03:46
The transportation I will set like a 40 dollar.
00:03:48
In total, it will cost around 310 per week.
00:03:51
With the amount that you have which is 2250,
it will only last for 6 weeks to 7 weeks.
00:04:00
But you are coming here for like six months
which is equivalent to 26 weeks.
00:04:06
This means that you still need another 19
weeks for you to survive in New Zealand.
00:04:11
Of course, I know that you guys will get a
job here but it needs some time.
00:04:16
Because some area it might take a longer time
for you to get a job and also depend on the
00:04:21
season.
00:04:22
So it is better for you guys to have a fund
in your bank account meanwhile you are looking
00:04:28
for a job.
00:04:29
It is fair enough for the government to set
this minimum requirement of living funds.
00:04:35
Now come to the most interesting part is how
much I earn in these six months.
00:04:39
Here is my payslip for six months from June
to Dec of 2022 which I have exactly earn
00:04:49
36570.55new Zealand dollars without tax.
00:04:55
So if you convert it to Malaysia ringgit it
will be roughly RM 100k, If after tax it will
00:05:03
be around 30k New Zealand dollars which converts
to Malaysia ringgit it will be like RM85k.
00:05:12
On average a month, I have earned around 5k
New Zealand dollars which is around RM14k
00:05:20
Malaysia ringgit.
00:05:22
This job I will say is considered as fixed
hours as well.
00:05:26
I sometimes started around 5:30 am some maybe
will be like 6 am and ended up around 4 to
00:05:32
5:30 pm.
00:05:34
So it depends on the job for the day whether
it is busy or not.
00:05:39
But I have summed up that average a week I
work for like 69 hours.
00:05:43
Of course, it depends on what type of job
that you want like for me I go for a factory
00:05:48
job because I want longer hours so I am able
to save more money for my study and some people
00:05:55
maybe will tend to go for a restaurant job,
seasonal work or maybe a housekeeping job
00:06:02
but in order for them to get a longer hour,
they will just go for 2 to 3 jobs in the meantime
00:06:08
in order for them to get longer hours.
00:06:11
But for me, I don't like to go through so
much so I just stayed in a factory job.
00:06:17
So depends on what job you want and what is
the goal for you to come here like I said
00:06:25
some maybe is for study, and some maybe convert
to a work visa it depends on what you want.
00:06:31
If like you want to get this working holiday
visa, what is the do, right?
00:06:38
In order for you to successfully get this
working holiday visa.
00:06:42
So now I am going to share a few tips about
do's you guys should do in order to successfully
00:06:49
obtain this working holiday visa.
00:06:52
So the first which is the most important one
I will say that try to log in and check what
00:07:00
information will be needed like maybe you
can log in to a different country and go through
00:07:07
the whole information that you need to submit
during the process.
00:07:10
First, you let yourself to familiar with the
process.
00:07:15
Second, you can jot down in a document like
Word in order for you to trace back easier
00:07:24
for you to reference when on the day you are
going to submit for the visa.
00:07:29
Another reason is that it will be better for
you to share it with your friends or families
00:07:37
to help you to submit the form together because
from my personal experience is that the server
00:07:45
will be very lag and it will keep on jumping
out, so it will be better that if you have
00:07:52
your friends or families helping you to do
it.
00:07:56
For example, you already go to step 2 and
suddenly it lags and you have popped out but
00:08:02
another computer which is the same one that
already logged in.
00:08:07
They will continue to step 3 or step 4 so
let's say that your computer has popped out
00:08:12
again.
00:08:13
When you log in here, it will show up and
maybe goes to step 5.
00:08:17
It will be faster and easier for you to complete
the application the final tip is that If you
00:08:25
have a friend or relative in New Zealand please
get them to help you because the rate of success
00:08:33
getting a working holiday visa will be higher
if someone is applying from new Zealand.
00:08:39
The last is be prepared everything before
the gate has opened for you to apply for it,
00:08:50
maybe 15-20 minutes before.
00:08:53
Now come to the part don't.
00:08:55
what you don't do it.
00:08:57
I will say this is 100% important because
my partner he had made this mistake which
00:09:03
caused a lot of issues that he need to go
through which made us fly separately to New
00:09:10
Zealand as well.
00:09:11
This is because of that he did not renew his
passport before applying for the working holiday
00:09:18
visa.
00:09:19
We apply and only then did he go to change
his passport in return when we get the working
00:09:27
holiday visa back, the passport number is
different from the visa.
00:09:31
So he has to go through a lot of trouble like
he needs to send some email or some proof
00:09:39
to Singapore and then needs to wait for a
certain time period for them to get back to
00:09:46
verify that this is his passport.
00:09:50
I don't really know how it goes through because
I can't really take part in it, I only can
00:09:56
say this is very troublesome.
00:09:58
So please get your passport renew before you
apply for the working holiday visa.
00:10:03
This is very important.
00:10:06
Now has come to the part which is the duration.
00:10:09
How long have we waited for the visa to get
approved?
00:10:12
So in the system, it stated 36 days, but for
us, we get it within 8 days.
00:10:17
We started to apply on the 15 of March and
we get it on the 24 of March which is 8 days
00:10:23
including the weekend.
00:10:25
During the time you are applying for the visa,
I will say it takes around 3 hours.
00:10:31
We started to apply at 5 am and we finish
around 8 am so is like 3 to 4 hours.
00:10:38
I am not sure about that.
00:10:39
But that is the time I get through.
00:10:43
Now you have successfully gotten your holiday
working visa, what should you do?
00:10:49
The first step is that you should get your
police certificate.
00:10:52
This is very important in order for you to
fly to New Zealand.
00:10:55
This police certificate only cost you around
RM 20 but it needs to wait for 1-2 months.
00:11:04
So I would recommend that you can apply before
you apply for your working holiday visa but
00:11:10
do take note that this police certificate.
00:11:13
After you get it, you have to use it within
3 months, so you can roughly calculate the
00:11:20
time when should you register for that.
00:11:23
the second thing is the medical cert, some
they say is necessary, some they say is not
00:11:29
necessary.
00:11:30
But for me, I always go for the safest one,
so I go for a medical check once I get my
00:11:34
working holiday visa because it is very costly,
so I don't recommend that you do it before
00:11:39
applying for the working holiday visa as you
do not know whether you will successfully
00:11:43
get it or not.
00:11:44
Of course, I hope that you guys can get it
but as the safest way for you to save money,
00:11:50
I will say you get it after you successfully
obtain one of it.
00:11:54
It cost around RM600 for you to do this medical
check it takes around 3 hours for you to go
00:12:03
through the whole process and you will get
the result within a few days.
00:12:07
It will automatically pop up to the New Zealand
system which the immigration can see it immediately.
00:12:13
Of course, you can choose to do it if they
ask you to do so but it will take a longer
00:12:19
period of time for you to go through the process.
00:12:22
So it depends on you guys but for me, I just
go for the safest route and the best thing
00:12:27
is that if you are planning to get another
visa in New Zealand (within 3 months) then
00:12:35
it will be good for you to do this medical
check in Malaysia as is very expensive to
00:12:40
have a medical check in New Zealand.
00:12:43
For me, I get it in Malaysia and once I fly
to New Zealand within three months I applied
00:12:50
for a work visa I don't have to go through
another medical check in New Zealand as I
00:12:56
can use this medical certificate which saves
me a lot of money.
00:13:02
Once I have used this, it can last for like
two years so which means within these two
00:13:06
years if I apply for another visa like a student
visa, I don't have to go through another medical
00:13:13
check again.
00:13:14
So it depends on what situation you are in
and you can decide about that.
00:13:20
Now come to the part when do I recommend when
should you guys come over?
00:13:25
I will say that it depends on what type of
job you want, what experience you want to
00:13:30
go through and you make the decision for that.
00:13:34
As New Zealand has four seasons which are
different seasons they have different jobs
00:13:39
and different experiences.
00:13:40
So, I will first start with my own experiences,
when I landed in New Zealand around the end
00:13:47
of April which is nearly winter.
00:13:49
A lot of seasonal work like apple, kiwi, packing
job everything is not as demanded so I go
00:13:58
for a factory job.
00:14:01
And also the reason I go for a factory job
is that I know when the winter season comes,
00:14:06
I only can choose to work from a ski area
or vineyard (like cutting some grapes or picking
00:14:15
some grapes) but a lot of people don't recommend
me to go for as is very very cold and you
00:14:23
have to stand under the cold situation with
your hand cutting the grape which a lot of
00:14:31
people don't recommend for that and I don't
recommend as well as it is really cold during
00:14:37
winter.
00:14:38
Secondly, I don't go for ski because is unstable
work hours so I go for a factory job.
00:14:43
You might think that maybe I can come in the
next season which is spring.
00:14:52
I don't really know about spring that much
but I will say that a lot of people come during
00:14:57
spring because of that they want to apply
for a job for summer as during summer is very
00:15:02
hard for you to get a job.
00:15:04
Why?
00:15:05
Because everyone is able to work during that
period of time.
00:15:09
For example, for students, that's the only
period of time they can work full-time to
00:15:15
get money, it is also the time when a lot
of the seasonal work able to work.
00:15:21
So I would say that is a lot of the supply
but meanwhile, there's also a lot of demand.
00:15:28
So it will be a bit difficult for you guys
to obtain a job during the summer.
00:15:32
That's why some of them, they will come during
spring and they will apply for a job in the
00:15:38
summer.
00:15:39
I would say that if you come around spring,
maybe you can start with a factory job as
00:15:43
well or maybe you can go to some restaurant
or maybe like a supermarket to go for it.
00:15:50
Yeah, but I do not really know about Spring,
but that's what I can talk about.
00:15:54
for summer.
00:15:55
I would say this is the best time you can
come to New Zealand to work during the summer
00:16:01
because it is not very cold but not very warm.
00:16:06
This is the best time.
00:16:07
But as I mentioned just now, it's a bit hard
for you to obtain a job during the summer.
00:16:12
The second thing is that summer flight ticket
is very, very expensive.
00:16:17
It's not expensive, it's super expensive like
double up or triple up the flight ticket.
00:16:23
I believe that it's because a lot of people
they'll come for vacation and some maybe they
00:16:29
will fly back to their own country, especially
during the Christmas season or maybe during
00:16:34
the Chinese New Year or they fly back to some
cultural celebrations.
00:16:42
this is the reason why the flight is so expensive.
00:16:46
Yeah, so there are pros and cons.
00:16:49
So depends on which you guys prefer.
00:16:51
And then the last season will be the autumn
season.
00:16:55
The autumn season I will say is like mm, because
it's in the middle of the season like for
00:17:02
the apple for the kiwi, but it almost getting
near to the period of the ending season.
00:17:08
Yeah.
00:17:09
So this means you have to switch the job when
it comes to the end of the autumn.
00:17:16
here is all the four-season type of job that
I have talked about.
00:17:21
So it depends on your budget, like the flight
ticket and the second is what is the experience
00:17:26
that you want to experience?
00:17:27
Uh, like what's the weather that you want
to go through, whether you are a person that
00:17:31
is afraid of cold or you love the cold and
you pick yourself, which is a season that
00:17:36
you recommend.
00:17:37
Of course, I recommend it for the summer because
I'm a person that I don't really like cold
00:17:42
weather as it is really cold here.
00:17:45
So it depends on what are your decisions and
what's your plan, and what's your next move.
00:17:50
Yeah, I will attach a link that has specifically
clarified in which season it will be available
00:17:58
for which type of fruits and also in which
part of the area and also in the north and
00:18:05
south island so you guys can go through it.
00:18:08
What type of jobs should you expect in getting
a working holiday visa to work in New Zealand?
00:18:13
So I will say that most of them will go for
a seasonal job, factory shop, factory job,
00:18:20
merchandiser and housekeeper, cleaner, farm
job, ski job and some maybe they will go for
00:18:27
their field like IT or car repairing and they
plan to convert to work visa.
00:18:33
I don't know.
00:18:34
So it's just like an example.
00:18:37
So it depends on what is the aim for you to
come to New Zealand by holding a working holiday
00:18:43
visa.
00:18:44
Of course, everyone will say that oh it's
a chance for you to come over and experience
00:18:49
but experience is a broad word.
00:18:51
What type of experience?
00:18:53
It depends on what do you want to, am I right?
00:18:56
Some of my friends come here to experience
their own job back in their country like IT
00:19:03
like car repair and they are successfully
getting a work visa after they have ended
00:19:08
their working holiday visa.
00:19:10
Some of them they just come to experience
like they have changed a lot of jobs in a
00:19:15
few months because they want to experience
a different job and then they get the money
00:19:21
and then they travel and then they back to
their country.
00:19:24
Yeah.
00:19:25
So depends on what do you want and this is
what I can share.
00:19:30
Is just imagine that like you are come from
another country but in this country they also
00:19:38
have a different type of job that you can
go for.
00:19:41
Yeah.
00:19:42
So of course the thing that you guys have
to remember is that we are the foreigner and
00:19:49
of course everything they will prioritize
their own family first.
00:19:54
Yeah.
00:19:56
So it depends on your luck whether you can
get a job or not.
00:19:59
But I will say that if your job is in an expert
area, like a skill area, it will be more easier
00:20:06
for others to obtain it.
00:20:08
Yeah.
00:20:09
Like for example if I want to go to IT field,
I don't have any experience.
00:20:13
I can't really get a spot in a company to
work with it.
00:20:19
Okay.
00:20:20
Which part of island should go to?
00:20:21
So in New Zealand there's two part of island,
one north, one south.
00:20:25
For the north it's more like a city area and
for the south it's more like a rural area
00:20:33
but both of them have their pros and cons
like for the north it is more like city so
00:20:38
obviously it will have more food, more people,
more busy life and more job opportunity.
00:20:45
But in the south, because is more chill, more
slow pace so it will returns have low job
00:20:51
opportunity but you are able to experience
a lot of beautiful scenery in the south.
00:20:57
Yeah.
00:20:58
So depends on which of the area that you prefer,
what type of job that you want to, what type
00:21:05
of life that you wish to have to experience?
00:21:09
Yeah, like some of my friends they prefer
to go to a rural area.
00:21:13
Some maybe they go for city area.
00:21:15
I will say I'm a north island person, I'm
a more city person so I will prefer to go
00:21:23
for the north.
00:21:24
Yeah.
00:21:25
Is it worth it or not?
00:21:26
I will say yes or no and why do I say so?
00:21:30
Because it really depends on what is your
aim and your goal in getting working holiday
00:21:35
visa and I will make a simple calculations
whether is it worth it in getting a working
00:21:41
holiday visa here or not.
00:21:43
I'm going to calculate the cost for the visa
application it costs like 420 new Zealand
00:21:48
dollar for the police certificate it will
cost like roughly 7 New Zealand dollars.
00:21:52
The medical cert is around 217 New Zealand
dollar, working holiday insurance is 204 New
00:22:00
Zealand dollar.
00:22:01
It's very important to get insurance if you
are in a different country, even though you
00:22:06
already have your insurance in your country,
it's still important for you to get a working
00:22:10
holiday visa insurance in New Zealand because
like for my case is that once I have fly to
00:22:17
New Zealand over three months, if anything
happen, touch wood happen and it's not covered
00:22:24
from the insurance company, it's stated in
the contract.
00:22:28
I'm not sure about your contract or maybe
you can ask your agent about it but I can
00:22:33
say that most of it is not covered.
00:22:35
In order for you to reactivate it's that you
have to fly back to your country.
00:22:40
Like me, I have to fly back to Malaysia and
it get activate again for my insurance but
00:22:45
it's very costly for me to fly back.
00:22:47
It's impossible just for this insurance and
I fly back so I just purchase another working
00:22:52
holiday visa insurance and it's not costly
as well it just cost you 200 new Zealand dollar.
00:22:59
for the flight ticket.
00:23:00
It depends on when do you fly to New Zealand
as I say during summer it be more pricey but
00:23:07
for my case I will say that my ticket is considered
as pricier because by that time when I fly
00:23:13
over is during covid.
00:23:14
For me it cost around 1,211 New Zealand dollar.
00:23:19
So in total it cost me 3,270 New Zealand dollar
which come to Malaysia it will be nearly 9,000.
00:23:26
Now we still have to add up the living fund
that require from the government, which is
00:23:31
like nearly 15,000 Malaysia ringgit.
00:23:34
So it's better for you to have this amount
of money before you apply for this working
00:23:39
holiday visa.
00:23:40
Okay, so now you might ask me that, oh now
we already spend so much in order to get this
00:23:46
working holiday visa whether is it worth it
for me to get this working holiday visa?
00:23:51
Whether am I really able to earn money by
getting this visa?
00:23:55
Okay, let me show you.
00:23:57
Now I'm going to list out the living cost
in New Zealand per week.
00:24:01
First, it will be rental.
00:24:04
It depends on what type of house, which area
which island we live in.
00:24:09
But I will share based on my personal experience
is that I have a friend, who stay in a share
00:24:15
house Bund-bed, which cost only 90-100 New
Zealand dollar per week I have a friend who
00:24:24
stay in a share house that cost 220, and also
I have experienced staying alone, which cost
00:24:30
me 320 per week.
00:24:33
Yeah.
00:24:34
So I will just get to the middle point, okay,
which is 220 as a share house.
00:24:40
For food, I will go to like 50 New Zealand
dollars.
00:24:44
for the transport.
00:24:45
I will go for 40 New Zealand dollars.
00:24:48
So it is around between 190 to 360.
00:24:53
I will just go for the bigger amount okay?
00:24:56
Which is like 360 and I'm staying in New Zealand
for six months, which is 26 weeks in total
00:25:02
I have to pay for like 9319 New Zealand dollars,
which is around 26,000 Malaysian ringgit.
00:25:10
Okay, now you will say that whoa, this is
a big cost, right?
00:25:16
Okay don't worry, we still haven't deducted
the part that we have earned during the six
00:25:21
months.
00:25:22
Okay, six months we earned around 30,000 New
Zealand dollars.
00:25:26
Okay?
00:25:27
And then I will deduct the fixed cost I've
calculated just now and what I have remained
00:25:32
is roughly 18,000 New Zealand dollars, which
you convert to Malaysia ringgit, it will be
00:25:39
nearly 50,000 Malaysia ringgit in six months.
00:25:42
Okay?
00:25:43
So this is what I will be earning, okay?
00:25:46
This calculation is based on purely working
without travel, without spending.
00:25:52
If let's say you want to go for a two week
or a few weeks of travel in New Zealand before
00:25:58
you head back to Malaysia, it'll be another
case and it depends on what you spend, but
00:26:04
what I can share about the traveling costs
is that it costs the same when you travel
00:26:10
in your country.
00:26:11
Like for example in Malaysia it costs 100
to 300 for you to stay in a hotel.
00:26:17
It costs the same in New Zealand, it costs
like 100 or maybe 200, 300 for you to stay
00:26:23
at night in the hotel in New Zealand.
00:26:26
So this is how it will be calculated and we
have spent 3000 to 4,000 before when we travelled
00:26:36
in New Zealand.
00:26:37
Yeah.
00:26:38
And it's really costly for us to travel around
because you can't really cook, you have to
00:26:42
eat the food outside and the food is quite
costly it cost around 20 to 30 New Zealand
00:26:47
dollars and you have to rent a car as well.
00:26:50
Renting a car in New Zealand is super expensive,
especially if you think of getting a caravan,
00:26:56
I don't really recommend that to do it during
the summer because the price is crazy.
00:27:02
Yeah.
00:27:03
But depends on how are you going to determine
the budget, and what is your goal in coming
00:27:09
here.
00:27:10
after we have understood all the scenarios
and it's time for us to back to the first
00:27:14
questions.
00:27:15
This scheme is suitable for which type of
people.
00:27:19
So the first one is for those who want to
come and experience it.
00:27:23
Meanwhile, you want to earn some money.
00:27:25
I would say definitely it is the scheme for
you, okay?
00:27:28
You can get to earn some money and you can
get to explore and you can go back to Malaysia
00:27:32
or to your country.
00:27:34
This is definitely a yes for you.
00:27:37
The second one is for those who plan to get
a working holiday visa as their starting point,
00:27:43
but plan to convert to a work visa afterwards.
00:27:45
I will say for now the work visa is a bit
hard to convert as the New Zealand government
00:27:51
has raised up the medium wages again.
00:27:55
Yeah.
00:27:56
So it's not easy as previously.
00:27:59
So now it's a bit harder, a bit difficult.
00:28:02
But if let's say you are on the green list,
okay then it will be easier for you to go
00:28:07
for this plan if you are on the green list
zoon and your plan is to convert to a work
00:28:16
visa after workie ng holiday visa, I will
say maybe it's a good chance for you to come
00:28:22
and explore first and you can decide whether
you want or you don't want to convert.
00:28:27
Yeah, I have news which is that I have a few
of my friends, they come to New Zealand and
00:28:33
they have successfully converted to work visas
by working in green list occupations.
00:28:39
for the third is that they want to further
study.
00:28:42
Okay?
00:28:43
I need to be honest with you guys that working
for six months is not sufficient enough for
00:28:48
you to pay for international school fees in
New Zealand.
00:28:53
It is ridiculously expensive.
00:28:55
I would say it's very expensive and you can't
cover it.
00:29:00
Maybe you will say like, oh I already earned
like 17,000 Zealand dollars by working in
00:29:06
six months.
00:29:07
I will say that's not enough.
00:29:08
That's only enough for you to prove your living
fund being a student.
00:29:12
But you have to pay for a school fee, maybe
another 20k or 30k or 50k New Zealand dollars
00:29:19
in a year depending on what are you studying.
00:29:22
So I will say is a no.
00:29:24
If you are thinking to use a working holiday
visa and you convert to a student visa, it's
00:29:30
possible that if you still want to go study,
but in the meantime like in the middle of
00:29:35
the period you have to convert to a work visa
and you work a longer period of time.
00:29:40
Only then you can go for a course in New Zealand.
00:29:45
The last one is that for those who want to
come and earn money, I will say definitely
00:29:48
is a yes as you see that you guys are able
to earn so much in just six months.
00:29:55
But of course, this provided that you are
not so enjoying the luxurious life as you
00:30:02
are here to earn money not here to enjoy your
life because your aim is to earn money.
00:30:07
So you have to expect that in these six months,
you are working a tougher job and you can't
00:30:12
really have an extra spend on some luxury
product or some extra food that you have.
00:30:21
A lot of things you need to think of are like
I have to save, save .. only you are able
00:30:27
to save this amount of money.
00:30:28
Only then you can earn this much money.
00:30:32
If for those you can't go through the tough
life, I will not say is a tough life.
00:30:39
A job you never work before in your country
like I never work before in a factory job
00:30:44
in my country.
00:30:45
I never know that it is quite hard for me
to adapt to it but I made it because I know
00:30:55
what is my goal.
00:30:56
I need the money.
00:30:58
But, I also do have a few friends who can't
cope with it and they just fly back to the
00:31:03
country.
00:31:04
In the end, they waste a lot of money, they
did not earn any money but they ended up wasting
00:31:09
a lot of money.
00:31:10
So, if you really want to come here, your
goal is to earn money, what you have to do
00:31:16
is that you have to focus on...
00:31:20
The last is, how has a working holiday visa
changed me.
00:31:25
I will say that the first is get to more clarify
regards on what I want to work because I know
00:31:32
that I don't want to work in a factory job
forever.
00:31:36
This is not my goal.
00:31:37
This is just a stepping stone for me to step
to another stone as I go for a student visa.
00:31:47
I go for my study and ended up I want to work
an occupation I want to.
00:31:54
I am more clear on what is field I want to
go towards.
00:31:58
What is my goal?
00:32:00
As I keep popping myself into a situation
where I don't really like it.
00:32:06
So I keep on forcing myself to think about
what you really want, you have to be clear
00:32:12
about that.
00:32:13
Because you don't have so much time to waste,
you don't have so much money for you to waste,
00:32:18
you have to be realistic, be clear and strive
for the goal for yourself.
00:32:23
So this it one of the things have working
holiday visa changed me.
00:32:28
The second thing is that I started realizing
that things are always hard.
00:32:31
If you are a person thinking of getting a
working holiday visa to run away from the
00:32:38
current issue that you are facing right now.
00:32:39
I can tell you that this is not a good solution.
00:32:42
Because when you run away from a current issue,
you will be facing more in a different stage.
00:32:48
For example, in Malaysia we always complain
that it is very hard for us to survive, that
00:32:54
is too competitive, very less job opportunities,
and a lot more.
00:32:58
But I can tell you what, when you come to
another country as a foreigner that's more
00:33:03
things that you have to concern about.
00:33:05
For example, we have to go through all the
legislation and immigration before we make
00:33:12
a single decision because we can't violate
the rules and regulations as a foreigner.
00:33:17
The second thing is that we can't really pick
a job but instead, a job picks us.
00:33:23
As with a lot of jobs we can't get to be prioritize
because we are a foreigner.
00:33:29
It always has things pop up for you to solve,
so I have learned that everything is difficult.
00:33:37
The third thing I have learned is that be
more independent.
00:33:41
Because I am here now in a foreign country,
I don't have my family.
00:33:45
I have to learn to be independent, I have
to be responsible for every steps and decision
00:33:51
I have made.
00:33:53
For example, when I am sick I don't have my
family here to cook for me, to take care of
00:33:57
me.
00:33:58
In Malaysia, my family will pay for the rental,
water bill, and everything but now I started
00:34:03
to feel that that's so hard for a living.
00:34:07
Like we have to go through so much, we have
to pay for the bill meanwhile we have to maintain
00:34:13
our jobs, our studies and all that.
00:34:15
So, I started to become more independent by
getting a working holiday visa.
00:34:24
So that is all about today that I want to
share about the working holiday visa.
00:34:29
If there is something that I did not cover
but you are curious about.
00:34:33
You can leave me a comment and I will reply
to you about that.
00:34:56
So I will see you the next time.
00:35:04
Goodbye!
