Visa Information
Visa and Entry Requirements
Most international delegates need travel authorization before they depart for New Zealand. Please review the requirements below and apply well before your planned travel date.
- Visa-waiver countries: Citizens of visa-waiver countries need a New Zealand Electronic Travel Authority, known as an NZeTA. You can request one online or through the official NZeTA app. Please apply at least 72 hours before departure.
- All other countries: You need a Visitor Visa. Processing can take several weeks, so we encourage you to apply as early as possible.
- Australian citizens: You do not need a visa or an NZeTA.
Before you apply: please note
- Your passport must be valid for at least three months beyond your planned departure from New Zealand.
- Most travelers must also pay the International Visitor Conservation and Tourism Levy, which is charged as part of the application.
- Submit applications only through Immigration New Zealand. Third-party websites charge extra service fees for the same application.
