The Big OE
Since the 1950's the UK, in particular London, has been one of the most popular destinations for Kiwis to undertake "the big OE". The UK remains an attractive location to gain valuable overseas experience due to the high number of job opportunities and the scale of the UK's domestic and international market and it acts as a great base for travelling around Europe. Following recent changes Kiwis between the ages of 18 and 35 are able to work in the UK for 3 years by applying for a Youth Mobility Scheme Visa.
