Immigration New Zealand provides clearer visa processing time information

A new processing times tool is now available.

You can now find the typical processing times for a wider range of visa categories, giving you clearer expectations about how long your visa may take to process. 

Check visa application processing times

The tool gives you an estimated decision date for your application, based on when it was submitted and current average processing times.   

Processing times are based on recently completed applications and will be updated regularly.
