NZeTA - New Zealand

NZeTA - New Zealand

Travellers from visa-free countries travelling to New Zealand for tourism, business travel, job applications, participation in sports or transit to another final destination need a NZeTA.

NZeTA is an electronic travel authorization that allows you to stay in New Zealand for up to 90 days

Its validity is 2 years with unlimited admission, each of which does not exceed 90 days

Usually, a NZeTA is approved within 2 hours of its submission, any changes in timing are due by the New Zealand Immigration Department, which can take up to 72 hours.

If you are in New Zealand and wish to extend your stay, you must apply for a visa, not a NZeTA.
