Which IELTS test to practice
For a New Zealand Working Holiday Visa, practice either IELTS Academic or IELTS General Training. Immigration New Zealand (INZ) sets the English rule by country. Listening and Speaking are the same in both modules; only Reading and Writing change. The Philippines accepts evidence that your tertiary qualification was taught entirely in English instead of IELTS, and Thailand accepts English-medium schooling or an interview with an INZ officer. Vietnam has no alternative to the test.
The score to aim for
| Applies to | IELTS overall band | IELTS band in each skill |
|---|---|---|
| China applicants | 5.5 | — |
| Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand and Turkey applicants | 4.5 | — |
| Peru applicants showing NZ$4,200 | — | Speaking 5 or over, and 5 or over in one other skill |
| Peru applicants showing NZ$7,000 instead | None required | None required |
Each overall band above is the average of your four component scores, and your certificate must be no more than two years old when you lodge your application. The Turkey route also requires four years’ full-time study.
