Tourism partners
Immigration New Zealand (INZ) partners with a number of organisations to offer their premium members a streamlined visa application process. These special arrangements only apply to members who can demonstrate they meet certain qualifying criteria.
By partnering with selected tourism industry organisations, INZ provides high-value visitors a further incentive to choose New Zealand as a travel destination. Applicants still need to meet INZ’s basic requirements, including being of good character and an acceptable standard of health.
