NEW ZEALAND VISA BLOG<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n You may be tempted to visit New Zealand because of its breathtaking scenery, exciting activities, or even The Lord of the Rings. One of New Zealand\u2019s most appealing characteristics is the abundance of tourist attractions on both islands. New Zealand is one of the world\u2019s most popular tourist destinations. Even if visiting the country is on your bucket list, you\u2019ll need a tourist visa to fully experience everything it has to offer. If you are visiting New Zealand for the first time, you will require a NZeTA or visitor visa. To enter New Zealand, you must have a valid passport and visa. Your passport must still be valid for at least three months after the date you plan to depart, and you must have a valid New Zealand visa if one is required.<\/p>\n WHAT IS NZeTA?<\/strong><\/p>\n NZeTA (New Zealand Electronic Travel Authority) applications will be required for visa-free visitors to New Zealand from October 1, 2019. As a result of this additional requirement, travelers from non-visa-required countries will not be granted a visiting visa instantly. Submit an online NZeTA (New Zealand eTA) application three days before travel. Because the NZeTA might take up to 72 hours to process, it is vital to plan ahead of time.<\/p>\n New Zealand Tourist Visa Requirements<\/strong><\/p>\n NEW ZEALAND VISA FOR US CITIZENS<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n US citizens must obtain a travel permit before visiting New Zealand. The New Zealand eTA is a convenient option for citizens from approximately 190 countries, including the United States. For US citizens, the application process for a New Zealand eTA is straightforward. The New Zealand eTA for Americans, or \u201cNZeTA,\u201d was implemented in 2019. It allows eligible citizens to visit New Zealand for transit, tourism, or business. Residents of the United States wishing to visit New Zealand for a limited time must have a valid eTA that is electronically linked to their passport. The New Zealand eTA is valid for two years from the date of issuance. US citizens can stay in New Zealand for up to 3 months at a time with their eTA. As the New Zealand eTA is a multiple entry eVisa waiver, holders can visit New Zealand multiple times within the two-year period of validity. To apply for a New Zealand ETA from the United States, US citizens must complete a short online application form that asks for the traveler\u2019s personal and passport information. Once approved, US citizens will receive a copy of their New Zealand eTA to the email address provided in the application form.<\/p>\n Documents Required for US Citizens<\/strong><\/p>\n\n
