1Overview
The New Zealand Visitor Visa is an electronic visa (eVisa) for travellers who are not eligible for the NZeTA. It covers tourism, visiting family and friends, business and short-term study of up to three months.
It is digitally linked to the passport and the visit length is decided by the immigration officer based on the traveller's plans and financial evidence.
Who needs it
- Needed by non-visa-waiver nationals, who must apply for a Standard Visitor Visa; citizens of visa-waiver countries (such as the US, UK and most EU nations) need an NZeTA instead.
- Australian citizens are exempt; Australian permanent residents need an NZeTA regardless of nationality.
- Each traveller needs their own visa; partners and dependent children aged 19 and under can be included in one application.
- Transit: non-visa-waiver travellers generally need a Transit Visa to pass through Auckland; leaving the transit area or staying over 24 hours requires a full visitor visa.
