It’s important to be aware that accommodations in New Zealand are not provided by employers. We will assist you in the housing search, but the rental contract will be between you and the property owner, and you will be responsible for covering the accommodation costs.

Plan for the following expenses:
– Transportation costs.
– Visa costs. If you are a french national it will cost you NZ$ 245.
– Maintaining €2500 in your bank account before departure for emergencies.
– In the first month after your arrival, you’ll need to budget for a security deposit for your accommodation, typically equivalent to one month’s rent.
– Rent, which averages between NZ$250 and NZ$300 per week for a studio or shared room.
While the cost of living in New Zealand may be high compared to the net minimum wage in the hospitality and restaurant sector, the experience is truly unforgettable. From food and accommodation to exploring restaurants, bars, and local outings, every moment is worth it.
We recommend that candidates consider staying in a youth hostel or guesthouse, where, in most cases, you won’t be required to pay a security deposit.
