England visa requirements

Holiday visa

New Zealanders (and many other nationalities) can visit England for up to 6 months without a visa.  Visits beyond this time period will require entry clearance.

Working holiday visa

Bring on the pounds!  As a Kiwi and aged between 18-30 years, you can apply for the working holiday visa (Youth Mobility Scheme), allowing you to live and work in England for up to two years. You’ll need to apply at least three months before you intend to leave to ensure you receive your visa in plenty of time and have over £1600 pounds in your bank account before you even apply so start saving early!  There are also highly skilled and ancestry visas available if you're planning on a longer OE to the UK.
