About Visitor Visa to New Zealand
The New Zealand Visitor Visa, officially called the New Zealand Visitor Visa, is a visitor visa for individuals who wish to travel to New Zealand for tourism, vacation, visiting family or friends, or certain business-related activities. The visa is a traditional visa and is different from the NZeTA (New Zealand Electronic Travel Authority), which is an electronic travel authorization.
The visa is primarily used by people who are not eligible to apply for NZeTA or who want to apply for a traditional visa before travel. It may also be a suitable option for people who are planning an extended stay or whose travel situation is not covered by the terms of the NZeTA. The application must be submitted before departure and must be approved before the start of the trip.

The visa can be issued as Single Entry or Multiple Entry depending on the decision of Immigration New Zealand. You can stay in New Zealand for up to 6 months. The final decision on the visa's validity, number of entries and length of stay is always made by Immigration New Zealand.

- Visa photo
- Documents showing that you have sufficient financial means for your stay
