Some visa fees are waived for citizens of Austria, Finland, Greece, Iceland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Turkey, United States of America, and Russia. If you are a citizen of one of these countries, please contact this office to ask if a fee waiver applies to you.
With certain types of visas your spouse and unmarried dependent children under 20 years of age may be included on your own application form IF they are applying for the same type of visa as you are. Such family members do not then need to pay a separate fee. Children 17 or older who are NOT dependent on you, all children 20 years of age and over, and any family member applying for a different type of visa must make their own application for any type of visa, and must also pay a separate fee.
You can check the fees for our various application types by using our Office and Fees finder.
Please note that the fees for applications submitted to The Hague branch of Immigration New Zealand changed on 1 May 2007. Please ensure that you have included the correct fee when submitting your application.
