Currently, travelers wishing to visit New Zealand must apply for the New Zealand ETA. Applying for the New Zealand ETA can be easy if you have the support of an expert, like the ones we have on iVisa.

We make sure that you get your travel document without any problems in the shortest possible time.

The Electronic Travel Authority (ETA) system allows travelers to obtain this document to visit New Zealand through an electronic application process. You can apply in the comfort of your home from your computer or tablet. Forget about visiting a New Zealand embassy or consulate!

Here, you'll find all the info about the New Zealand ETA and how to apply for it.

What is a New Zealand ETA?

The New Zealand Tourist ETA is an Electronic Travel Authorization that grants the right to enter New Zealand multiple times for tourist purposes. That means that you can enter and leave this country many times during your permitted travel stay.

To get the NZeTA you don’t have to make an appointment or present the original documents at the Embassy or any New Zealand consulate. This travel document helps border agents control travelers' entry into New Zealand.

Remember that you can apply for this electronic visa 100% online! iVisa does all the hard work for you!

Start your application here!

What can I do and not do with the New Zeland ETA?

This visa is perfect to do tourist activities like going to New Zealand's many attractions, visiting friends or family, and doing purely recreational and entertainment activities.

New Zealand ETA doesn’t allow you to buy property, receive medical treatment, run a business, invest in New Zealand, or work.

Which nationalities are eligible for the New Zealand electronic travel authority?

This document is a type of visa that needs to be obtained by visa waiver countries, which are the countries that are part of the Visa Waiver Program (VWP), created by the United States government.

Citizens from waiver countries can visit the US without a visa and citizens from the US can visit any waiver county without a visa.

UK passport holders also need this travel document to visit New Zealand.

If you are a resident of one of the following countries, we can help you start the process.

Andorra Argentina Austria Bahrain Belgium
Brazil Brunei Bulgaria Canada Chile
Croatia Cyprus Czech Republic Denmark Estonia
Finland France Germany Greece Hungary
Iceland Ireland Israel Italy Japan
Kuwait Latvia Liechtenstein Lithuania Luxembourg
Macau Malaysia Malta Mauritius Mexico
Monaco Netherlands Norway Oman Poland
Portugal Qatar Republic of South Korea Romania San Marino
Saudi Arabia Seychelles Singapore Slovakia Slovenia
Spain Sweden Switzerland Taiwan United Arab Emirates
United Kingdom United States Uruguay Vatican City

Did you find your country on this list? Then, start your application process for your visa waiver here!

If you’re not from an eligible country don’t worry! You can visit New Zealand by applying for any of its different visas.

How long is the New Zealand Tourist ETA valid?

According to the New Zealand government, the Electronic Travel Authority is a multiple entry visa and is valid for 2 years after being issued.

The expiration date will be specified on the ETA once it is issued. However, you can only arrive in New Zealand after the start date indicated on your visa and stay for a maximum of 90 days per entry. UK citizens can stay up to 6 months with their New Zealand ETA.
