April 17, 2013 was the day of opening of the quota for New Zealand Working Holiday visa for 2013/14. After unsuccessful Canada application (we missed the quota due to being on a skiing trip) we did not want to miss the ones for NZ this time. The quota opened on 17/4/2013, 10:00AM NZ time, which makes it 00:00 CET. So we waited until midnight and finally got to the application form. I've printed and studied the form before just to be sure to submit it as quickly as possible (I know it sounds pretty weird but at the end it turned out to be the crucial factor for getting the visa, as the 100 places for Slovakia were gone in less than 15 minutes from opening!). So I went to the well-known process and completed it within few minutes (with a great help from my friend Petra - Thanks!) and got to the success page. YEAH. However, Maros and Katka (two guys on the picture I'm instructing what to do with the form) who were applying as well, were a little bit slower (submitted approx. 5 mins after me) and did not manage to get among the 100 lucky :(. So the feeling after this long awaited moment was kind of bitter-sweet after all. Nevertheless, it seemed that I'm still IN (if I did not mess up anything in the application).
