About the New Zealand eTA visa
New Zealand's authorities have introduced a new visa waiver system. This system aims to improve the assessment process of travellers before their arrival in New Zealand. It will significantly reduce border clearance waiting times and will ultimately strengthen border security.
Do I need to apply for a New Zealand eTA?
You must apply for a New Zealand eTA visa if you are:
- visiting or in transit from a visa waiver country (see below for more information)
- a cruise ship passenger - regardless of your nationality
- or a permanent resident of Australia (Australian citizens do not need NZ eTA)
How long is a New Zealand eTA visa valid for?
This visa is valid for up to two years. You can enter the country multiple times during the validity period.

Dear Mike and Daisy, Just to let you know that I got my UK Ancestry visa today, valid for 5 years! It only took 5 days to be processed. You were very efficient and knowledgeable. Thank you so much for your friendly assistance. If I'm in your area, I'm going to bring you a box of chocolates :-) and will recommend your service.
Hi Antonia, Thank you so much for all your help. The visa arrived today. I have been very impressed with the promptness of your replies and how you have answered my questions so directly. Thanks again, Ben Stone
I just wanted to let you both know that today I received my UK YMS visa. I went to the Consulate General here in Duesseldolf, Germany, last Wednesday and so getting it back today was much quicker than I expected. Thanks for all your help with my application, and thanks to Visa First - much appreciated.
To whom it may concern, Our company has been working with Visa First for the last year. Debbie Ivins has been our point of contact. She is very fast and efficient with dealing with any requests and has been very helpful and knowledgeable with any of our visa queries we may have. We will continue to use Visa First in the New Year and would recommend their services to anyone with visa requirements.
Cheers for all your help. I'd just like to say I have found visafirst very good people to do business with. Very helpful, fast and efficient. Thanks for returning my call at the time you said you would and for advising me on the pack for New Zealand which includes the bank account and IRD number. You have made my heading to New Zealand less stressfull. Much appreciated.
Karen! You intrigue me! I might have to pass through Ireland just to see your smiling face! I'd have to pack a coat and gloves? But, really your kindness is alluring. Bisous, Bradley
