Here, you’ll find all the info about the New Zealand ETA and how to apply for it.
WHAT IS A NEW ZEALAND ETA?
The New Zealand Tourist ETA is an Electronic Travel Authorization that grants the right to enter New Zealand multiple times. That means that you can enter and leave this country many times during your permitted travel stay.
This document is a type of visa that needs to be obtained by visa waiver countries, which are the countries that are part of the Visa Waiver Program (VWP), created by the United States government.
Citizens from waiver countries can visit the US without a visa and citizens from the US can visit any waiver county without a visa.
UK passport holders also need this travel document to visit New Zealand.
To get the NZeTA you don’t have to make an appointment or present the original documents at the Embassy or any New Zealand consulate.
This travel document helps border agents control travelers’ entry into New Zealand.
Remember that you can apply for this electronic visa 100% online! iVisa does all the hard work for you!
Once approved, you will receive your NEW ZEALAND VISA FOR TOURISTS via email. You can present this document digitally or printed at New Zealand’s border. However, iVisa recommends downloading all your travel documents to your cell phone.
