Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

I'm from Thailand, do I need a visa to enter New Zealand?

What are the requirements?

The requirements for Thai citizens are the same as for every other nationality. iVisa does most of the hard work for you, but you still have to provide some documents and some information so that iVisa will have everything it needs to expedite the process. Here is the complete list:

  • Passport – Thai people who apply online need to have a valid passport. Also, you need to make sure that the document is valid for at least another 3 months from your date of departure from New Zealand.

  • Digital photo – the picture needs to be as recent as possible and meet all the proper guidelines for a passport photo.

  • Means of payment – iVisa requires that you make the payment before completing the online form. You can do that using a credit/debit card, but you can also pay with PayPal.

  • Email address – iVisa will send you the visa via email in PDF format. Print at least two copies of it.

  • Means of financial self-support – once you arrive in New Zealand, you need to prove that you can sustain yourself financially during your trip.

  • Return flight ticket – You may be asked to show a return flight ticket once you arrive. If you do not have this ticket, you need to prove that you have the money to buy one.

There are three steps you need to complete:

  1. The first one is about your personal information and processing time. You need to fill in your name, address, and so on. As for processing time, it determines the cost of your New Zealand visa, so make sure that you take a look at the fees for each one.

  2. Step two is based on payment and revision. The revision is often underestimated, but you need to make sure that all the information you provide is 100% accurate and correct. Otherwise, your visa could be invalidated. Even a single small mistake can make you repeat the process.

  3. Lastly, during step three you need to upload the documents iVisa asks of you. That should not be difficult since you get a list of everything you need to provide. Once step three is complete, you can submit your application and then wait.
