New Zealander visa policy for Nepalese citizens

Nepali citizens need a visa to visit New Zealand, and the most common option for short tourist trips is the New Zealand Visitor Visa, which must be obtained before departure.

iVisa offers one entry document for Nepali travelers:

  • New Zealand Visitor Visa: A mandatory visa that allows Nepali citizens to enter New Zealand for short-term visits of up to 9 months. It must be approved before travel, and travelers may be granted a stay of up to 6 months depending on the visa conditions.

    General New Zealand visa requirements for Nepali travelers are:

  • A Nepal passport valid for at least three months beyond the intended departure date
  • Completed Visitor Visa application form
  • Recent passport-style photograph
  • Proof of accommodation and travel itinerary
  • Confirmed onward or return travel ticket
  • Evidence of sufficient funds for the duration of the stay
  • Supporting documents showing strong ties to Nepal (employment, family, or financial commitments)
