Entry permission
You must apply for entry permission when you arrive in New Zealand. You can do this by completing an arrival card, which you are given on the way to New Zealand.
You can be refused entry permission if:
- you do not meet our character requirements
- your circumstances have changed since you were granted a visa
- you refuse to let us take your photo or to provide us with your fingerprints or an iris scan, if asked for them
- you are unable to provide evidence of any onward travel or funds required by the conditions of your visa.
