NEW ZEALAND VISITOR VISAS
NZ VISITOR VISA
Visitor visas allow travel to New Zealand for various purposes, including for holidays and meeting family or friends. You do not need to formally apply for a visitor visa if you're a citizen of a visa-waiver country; however, you will still need to request and be granted a New Zealand Electronic Travel Authority (NZeTA) before travelling.
Whether or not you are from a visa-waiver country, everyone travelling to New Zealand by air must complete a New Zealand Traveller Declaration, which is different from the NZeTA.
Different kinds of visitor visa are available depending on your situation and requirements. While Professional Immigration Services is based in Christchurch, New Zealand, modern technology and Immigration New Zealand's move to online visa processing means that our Christchurch immigration advisor can assist clients living anywhere in NZ and the world. We will recommend the right type of visitor visa for your circumstances and advise you on the documents required to apply. Every category of visitor visa has a different set of requirements, and it is important to provide evidence of meeting those requirements in order to avoid unnecessary complications in the application.
Some types of visitor visa that we help with are:
-
General Visitor Visa (like a tourist visa)
-
Parent and Grandparent Visitor Visa (only available to the parents and grandparents of New Zealand citizens/residents)
-
Culturally Arranged Marriage Visitor Visa (only available to the fiancés/spouses of New Zealand citizens/residents)
-
Business Visitor Visa (mainly for people undertaking business consultations or negotiations in New Zealand)
