NZeTA questions
What is an NZeTA?
It is an electronic travel authority for eligible travel to New Zealand. It is not a visa.
Who needs an NZeTA?
Eligible visa-waiver travellers, many transit passengers, Australian permanent residents and qualifying cruise or cargo passengers may need one.
How long is an NZeTA valid?
It is generally valid for two years for travellers and can support multiple journeys while the traveller remains eligible.
How long can I stay?
Most eligible visitors may stay up to three months per visit; qualifying United Kingdom passport holders may normally stay up to six months.
How long does processing take?
Allow up to 72 hours. Additional checks or requested information can make processing longer.
Can I transit through New Zealand with an NZeTA?
Eligible passengers can transit through Auckland International Airport for less than 24 hours while remaining in its international transit area.
Do cruise passengers need an NZeTA?
Qualifying passengers arriving by cruise ship may use an NZeTA even when normal air-travel visa-waiver rules do not apply to their nationality.
What passport validity is required?
The passport should remain valid for at least three months after the planned departure from New Zealand.
What photograph is required?
Use a clear, recent, unaltered JPG or JPEG portrait showing the face against a plain light background.
Does an approved NZeTA guarantee entry?
No. Entry permission is assessed separately at the New Zealand border.
