New Zealand eTA Basic Information
New Zealand eTA is an Electronic Travel Authority system that was implemented in July 2019. It allows eligible travelers to get an eVisa to New Zealand entirely online within a few days of the planned trip.
The New Zealand eTA is a multiple-entry eVisa that allows all eligible travelers to visit New Zealand for tourism, business, and transit-related purposes. Each stay with NZeTA can be as long as three months while the issued travel authorization stays valid for 2 years.
The Electronic Travel Authorization to New Zealand for airline and cruise crew members stays effective for 5 years from issuing.
Citizens from eligible countries can apply following a quick 3-step NZeTA application process online that consists of filling the form, covering the issuing fee, and waiting for approval.
