Visa transfers

If you need to transfer your current valid visa to a new passport, save time and do it online with the new form that is available on our Website.

Application for transfer or confirmation of a visa

Visas are linked to your passport (or certificate of identity).

When you obtain a new passport or certificate of identity, you will need to transfer any valid visa to the new passport before the visa can be used to travel.

This form can also be used to obtain a letter or visa label endorsement, to confirm your immigration status.

Visa holders

Applying online for a visa transfer means you no longer have to visit your nearest VAC or pay VAC service fees if you are outside New Zealand.

You can make payments online (if required) and will receive an email confirmation when your application has been successfully submitted.

You do not need to pay any fees if you request an eVisa or a confirmation letter.
