Agri Bridge FAQs – Your Journey Starts Here

We work with some of New Zealand’s top agricultural employers to offer jobs in:
  • Agri contracting (machinery work – tractors, balers, harvesters, etc.)
  • Dairy farming
  • General farm work (fencing, feeding, livestock care)
  • Horticulture (depending on season and interest)

Placements are available across both the North and South Islands, mainly in rural communities with strong farming operations—perfect for hands-on learning and exploring the real NZ.

Most roles run for 4 to 6 months, depending on the season and type of work. Some longer opportunities may be available if you’re keen to stay on.

We take care of the tricky stuff so you can focus on the experience:
  • Match you with a job that suits your background
  • Help apply for your IRD (New Zealand tax number)
  • Guide you through setting up a local bank account
  • Offer advice on accommodation and travel once you land

Nope! Our service is completely free to candidates. You’ll only need to cover your own flights, visa application fee, and personal expenses like food and rent while abroad.

You’re a great fit if you:
  • Are aged 18–30 and eligible for a New Zealand Working Holiday Visa
  • Have a valid passport and clean driving record
  • Have experience on farms or in machinery operation (or are willing to learn!)
  • Are ready to work hard, travel far, and try something new

It’s easy – you apply online through New Zealand Immigration’s website. We’ll walk you through the whole process and let you know what you need to have ready, like proof of funds or a return ticket.

Not every role needs tons of experience, but any of the following will help:
  • Driving tractors, loaders, or other farm machinery
  • Working on a dairy, beef, or sheep farm
  • Attending or graduating from an Agri college
If you’re hardworking, willing to learn, and up for the adventure, we’ll help you get there.

Some roles are independent, while others are part of a crew. If you prefer one over the other, let us know—we’ll do our best to match you with the right setup.

Definitely! We love seeing friends or couples take the leap together. Mention it in your application and we’ll try to place you at the same farm or nearby.
