NEW ZEALAND VISA WAIVER COUNTRIES<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n New Zealand is a breathtaking wonder in the Pacific Ocean\u2019s southwest. As a result, it is among the world\u2019s most popular tourist destinations. The NZeTA is not a visa, but it is required for admission beginning in October 2019. Passport holders from the 190 visa-free countries must apply for a NZeTA before visiting New Zealand. Some visitors and transit passengers can enter New Zealand without a visa if they obtain a NZeTA (New Zealand Electronic Travel Authority) before departing. New Zealand\u2019s Electronic Travel Authority (eTA) is a visa-free travel authorization issued by the government. Beginning October 2019, eligible visitors will be able to obtain their NZeTA quickly in order to enter the country for tourism, business, or transit. It has a two-year validity span (or until the registered passport expires). It permits for numerous visits and stays of up to 30 days. By completing a simple online application form, citizens of New Zealand eTA-qualified nations and eligible transit passengers can quickly receive a New Zealand eTA. There is no need to visit an embassy or consulate and the online New Zealand eTA application form takes just a few minutes to complete.<\/p>\n Who needs an eTA for New Zealand?<\/p>\n UK citizens can stay for up to six months, while Australians are granted residency upon arrival. Passengers passing through New Zealand on their way to another nation must apply for a transit NZeTA as well. Beginning October 1, 2019, passport holders from the 190 visa-free nations (you can visit New Zealand for up to 90 days without a visa) must register for a NZeTA for tourism before entering the country. The New Zealand eTA is valid for two years from the date of issuing, whether for transportation or tourist.<\/p>\n DOCUMENTS REQUIRED<\/p>\n A Valid passport from a visa waiver country<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Passport-style photograph<\/p>\n<\/li>\n A valid email address to receive the NZeTA in their Inbox.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n You can use a Debit or credit card to pay for the NZeTA fees.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n NEW ZEALAND VISA ENTRY RESTRICTIONS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n The New Zealand Electronic Travel Authority (NZeTA) scheme went live in July 2019.

In October 2019, the electronic travel authorization (eTA) that allows UK citizens to visit New Zealand went into effect. The NZeTA allows British passport holders to visit New Zealand for vacation, transit, or business. The NZeTA is a United Kingdom-issued national travel authorization that can be obtained online rather than in person at an embassy. The New Zealand eTA is a multi-entry online visa waiver valid for UK nationals with an unlimited number of journeys. Each stay can last up to 6 months. An eTA is valid for a total of 2 years from the date of issue or until the traveler\u2019s passport expires (whichever comes first).
