Information about Transit Visa
If you are passing through New Zealand as a transit passenger, you need to apply for a Transit Visa before you travel, unless you are travelling to Australia or are from a visa waiver country or a transit visa waiver country.
You can
- Pass through Auckland International airport as a transit passenger – you’ll need to stay in the airport’s transit area at all times.
- Include your partner, and dependent children aged 19 and under, in your visa application.
Things to note
- You can only transit New Zealand through Auckland International Airport.
- From 1 October 2019, if you are from a visa waiver country you must hold an NZeTA before you travel. An NZeTA request costs NZD $9 on our free app, or NZD $12 if completed online.
