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.
Note
Tourism Industry Partnerships are currently under review and will be closed until further notice.
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.
