New Zealander visa policy for Israeli citizens

Israeli citizens do not need a traditional visa to visit New Zealand for short stays. However, all Israeli travelers must obtain an approved New Zealand Electronic Travel Authority (NZeTA) before departure. Travelers must also pay the required International Visitor Conservation and Tourism Levy (IVL) as part of the entry process.

iVisa offers one entry document for Israeli travelers:

New Zealand ETA (NZeTA): A mandatory electronic travel authorization that allows Israeli citizens to board a flight to New Zealand for short-term visits. It is not a visa, but it is required for approval of visa-free entry before travel. Israelis are typically granted entry for up to 90 days on arrival.

General New Zealand entry requirements for Israeli travelers are:
A Israeli passport valid for at least three months beyond the intended departure date
Approved NZeTA confirmation
Payment of the IVL tourism levy
Confirmed onward or return travel ticket
Evidence of sufficient funds for the duration of the stay (if requested)
