Information about Visitor Visa
You can come to New Zealand as a visitor. During your stay, you’ll need enough money to support yourself and everyone included in your application. While you’re here, you can enjoy New Zealand’s scenery, adventure, culture, and friendly people.
You can
- Visit friends and family, explore New Zealand or enjoy amateur sports, or adventure activity.
- Study for up to 3 months.
- Include your partner, and dependent children aged 19 and under, in your visa application.
Things to note
- Check if you need to apply for a Visitor Visa – people from visa waiver countries can travel to New Zealand without a visa but, from 1 October 2019, you must hold an NZeTA (New Zealand Electronic Travel Authority).
