New Zealand Visitor visa and NZeTA

A visitor visa, or the NZ Electronic Travel Authority.

Overview

About this visa

Visitors to New Zealand need either a visitor visa or, for eligible visa-waiver travellers, an NZ Electronic Travel Authority (NZeTA).

Which applies depends on your nationality and purpose, and we confirm the right route and prepare your application accordingly.

As with any visitor visa, showing a genuine temporary purpose, sufficient funds and onward travel plans is key.

  • You are visiting New Zealand temporarily

Good to know

Frequently asked questions

Why are visitor visas refused?
Most refusals come down to the officer not being satisfied that the visit is genuine and temporary, or that you have enough funds and strong reasons to return home. We help you present clear purpose, sufficient funds and strong home ties.
Can I get a visitor visa to see family?
Yes - visiting family is a common and accepted reason to travel. Where you are visiting relatives, we prepare a proper invitation and supporting evidence to strengthen your application.
How long will my application take?
Processing times vary by visa type and change regularly, and they depend on your documents and personal circumstances. We give you a realistic, up-to-date estimate for your situation and keep you informed while the case is assessed.
Can I include my family?
Many visas let you include a partner and dependent children, either together with your application or by adding them later. We confirm exactly who you can include and prepare their documents alongside yours.
Do I have to visit your office in Jalandhar?
No. We work with clients across India and around the world. Your case can be handled entirely by phone, email and video call if that is easier for you.
