For applicants for the New Zealand Working holiday application on a UK passport, you can apply for a visa of either 12 months or up to 23 months. However, on a UK passport you may only work for a total of 12 months of the 23 months i.e. you can’t have paid work for 11 of the 23 months. Should you choose to increase this, you will be requested to undergo extra health checks, usually just X-Rays at an authorised clinic (this is an additional charge payable to the agency concerned)
