Wednesday 24th March 2004, Day 193/366 - Christchurch, New Zealand.

Phoned some people about work. I think the work visa is going to be an issue. So I phoned the New Zealand Immigration Services and they said the easiest way would have been for me to apply for a working holiday visa before I left the UK, well cheers I knew that. The only thing I can do now is apply for a general work visa, but that they will only consider if I have a specific offer of work and the employer can prove that they advertised the job thoroughly and there were no Kiwi's capable of doing the job.
