Working holiday visa to NZ

Timay

Hi

I was just wondering if it is possible to postpone or cancel these as I applied at got the visa in November 2011 so have to first enter the country by November 2012

Bu this is looking unlikely now due to other circumstances so I was wondering if it can be postponed or cancelled so I don lose my entitlement to the visa?

I had one to Australia and wen there for a year about 3 years ago and I'm sure i could cancel that visa before I left and just lose the money for the visa but I would of been able to apply for one at another time.

The FAQs on the scheme only refer to not using a visa and applying again. I would say you'll have to contact them directly (ie NOT the embassy) but only if your reason involves really serious illness of a close family member.

If I was previously approved a work visa under a working holiday scheme, can I apply for a working holiday again?
No. If you were previously approved a work visa under a working holiday scheme, you are not able to apply for another working holiday again. It does not matter if you used your previous work visa or not.
