I have ask about the travel insurance,
the agent recommend buy personal accident instead of travel insurance.
Reason is the travel insurance for 9 mth / 1 year will > RM 1k but the PA only < RM 200.

Remember to hold any cheque payment if you receive any cheque from internet advertising program or other company. I asked the bank, you must sign at the back of the cheque before bank in the cheque. For adbrite, simply make the minimum limit cash out to a large value (say 10k usd). For adsense, simply enable the hold cheque option in “My Account->Payment Holding”

penguin, the thai airway that you had mention above is for two way?
@junt yup, long time ago
hi Pengiun,
I am Christine from KL too, and 28 this year.
Do u mind to share how is the application of working holiday process?
yes, i had browse thru Nz-imigration detail and understand part of it.
bt there stil some doubt that hope u can assist me.
1. do we have to go thru interview for the WHV=NZ application (in regard via online or manual?
2. how to write a NZ–written statement? isn’t incl wat/where/how i plan during my time at NZ ??
3. as we are Malaysian, isn’t our application have to refer to NZ-singapore branch ?
Looking forward for ur reply soonest..Thank you so much !!
@Christine
1. For me that time, interview is only needed if the officer requested.
2. Actually that will be good if the plan is detail as you can, but some time understand that we couldn’t plan so detail before we go, i think the roughly plan is good enough.
3. I not sure about this, but if you do online application, i think is directly process by NZ Immigration.
Hi Penguin,
TQ so much for ur sharing.
Erm, wish I can break thru this challenge =/
Wonder do u stil have the “written statement” copy of ur last times’trip ?
hehehe…
Anyways, millions TQ & May u have a great days always =)
@Christine
Last time my visa approved without that, some times that is not as hard as we thought. You sure can made it !
