This Dreamy Country Is The Easiest To Move To For US Citizens

Fancy a change from the US but unsure where your passport will allow you to move and legally earn an income? The good news is, Middle Earth is the answer to your problem and it is ready for your arrival.

That’s right, New Zealand is not only one of the most beautiful places on the planet, complete with practically every type of topography and landscape, it’s also among the easiest to emigrate to.

For Americans and most other foreign nationals under 30 years of age, NZ offers a ‘working holiday visa‘ which allows you to spend up to 12 months living and working in the country. So not only can you enjoy the incredible scenery and wild adventures (remember, this is the country that invented bungee jumping!) but you can also earn a living to boot.

Some criteria must of course be met in order to obtain the coveted visas. For starters, applicants must be at least 18 years of age. You also have to prove you have savings of NZ$4,200 (around US$3,000). The country itself is not cheap though, so make sure you come with more than that and of course take advantage of being legally allowed to work!

Since you are here, we would like to share our vision for the future of travel - and the direction Culture Trip is moving in.

Culture Trip launched in 2011 with a simple yet passionate mission: to inspire people to go beyond their boundaries and experience what makes a place, its people and its culture special and meaningful — and this is still in our DNA today. We are proud that, for more than a decade, millions like you have trusted our award-winning recommendations by people who deeply understand what makes certain places and communities so special.

Increasingly we believe the world needs more meaningful, real-life connections between curious travellers keen to explore the world in a more responsible way. That is why we have intensively curated a collection of premium small-group trips as an invitation to meet and connect with new, like-minded people for once-in-a-lifetime experiences in three categories: Culture Trips, Rail Trips and Private Trips. Our Trips are suitable for both solo travelers, couples and friends who want to explore the world together.

Culture Trips are deeply immersive 5 to 16 days itineraries, that combine authentic local experiences, exciting activities and 4-5* accommodation to look forward to at the end of each day. Our Rail Trips are our most planet-friendly itineraries that invite you to take the scenic route, relax whilst getting under the skin of a destination. Our Private Trips are fully tailored itineraries, curated by our Travel Experts specifically for you, your friends or your family.

We know that many of you worry about the environmental impact of travel and are looking for ways of expanding horizons in ways that do minimal harm - and may even bring benefits. We are committed to go as far as possible in curating our trips with care for the planet. That is why all of our trips are flightless in destination, fully carbon offset - and we have ambitious plans to be net zero in the very near future.
