BEFORE YOU SET OFF
Less uncertainty.
More New Zealand.
Start with the documents for your journey. Some travellers need a New Zealand Electronic Travel Authority (NZeTA); others need a visa or have a different immigration status.
Your passport and travel plans determine what applies to you. Check the official guidance, keep your details organized and leave yourself time for any questions before departure.

Before New Zealand,
a few useful answers.
Is an NZeTA a visa?
No. An NZeTA is a travel authority for eligible travellers. It does not replace a visa where one is required, and it does not guarantee admission to New Zealand.
Does every traveller need the same document?
No. Your passport, immigration status and travel route affect the documents you need. Check Immigration New Zealand’s official guidance for your circumstances.
Where do I check current NZeTA information?
Use the official Immigration New Zealand website to check eligibility, validity, charges and processing guidance before applying.
When should I prepare?
Check the requirements well before departure and follow the current official guidance. Allow time to resolve questions and check your document details.
Is an NZeTA the same as a Traveller Declaration?
No. They are separate requirements. Check the New Zealand Traveller Declaration website as well as the immigration guidance before you travel.
