Your ultimate guide to applying for a New Zealand visitor visa.
Embarking on a journey to New Zealand requires a visitor visa for many travelers. Here’s an ultimate guide by NZ Expert Immigration Consultant to help you apply for your New Zealand visitor visa with ease:
A New Zealand visitor visa allows you to travel for tourism, visit friends and family, or study for up to three months. Depending on your passport, you may stay for up to 6 or 9 months.
Step 1: Determine Your Visa Requirements
Check if you need a visitor visa or an NZeTA. Some passport holders from visa waiver countries can travel with an NZeTA.
Step 2: Gather Your Documents
You’ll need proof of identity, good health, and character. Also, show evidence of genuine intentions to visit and leave New Zealand at the end of your stay.
Step 3: Complete the Application Form
Fill out the Visitor Visa Application Form (INZ 1017) accurately. Assistance is available if needed.
Step 4: Calculate Your Costs
Visa costs vary, starting from NZD $211. Processing times are typically within 4 weeks for 80% of applications.
Step 5: Submit Your Application
Apply online or through an authorized center. Do not book non-refundable travel until your visa is approved.
Step 6: Health and Character Checks
You may be required to provide a medical certificate and police clearance to prove your health and character status.
Step 7: Await Approval
Once submitted, wait for your visa approval. Processing times can vary, so apply well in advance.
