Requirements for International Visitors entering New Zealand

All overseas visitors are required to have a valid passport and are required to have the appropriate visa – typically either a visitors visa or a visiting academics visa – or NZeTA. For information on obtaining a visa, including necessary funds and health requirements, please visit： http://www.immigration.govt.nz/migrant/stream/visit/visitors/

We suggest that you allow for a minimum of 6 weeks to have your visa processed by Immigration New Zealand or the applicable New Zealand embassy or consulate in your country of residence.

Visa-waiver countries

There are a significant number of countries whose citizens do not require a visa to enter New Zealand. From Oct 1, 2019 delegates traveling from a visa waiver country will be required to obtain an NZeTA. View the list.

Please be aware that as of Oct 1, 2019 delegates traveling from visa waiver countries will need to apply for a NZeTA (New Zealand Electronic Travel Authority) prior to arrival at your departure airport. For more details on aquiring an NZeTA please visit： https://www.immigration.govt.nz/new-zealand-visas/apply-for-a-visa/about-visa/nzeta
