Young New Zealanders planning to head to the UK on their OE are getting an extra five years to do so, with the age limit being raised from 30 to 35 from July 1.

Also, visas under the Youth Mobility scheme will also be extended from two to three years, with the option to work the entire period.

And the same rules apply for Brits coming here.

British High Commissioner Iona Thomas spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.
