HOW TO GET A NEW ZEALAND VISA ONLINE?
What is an eTA New Zealand?
An eTA New Zealand, or Electronic Travel Authority, is an electronic document that allows travelers from certain countries to enter New Zealand without needing to apply for a traditional visa. The eTA is valid for up to two years and allows multiple entries into the country during that time.
The eTA is available for citizens of Australia, Canada, Japan, Singapore, South Korea and the United States. Citizens of other countries must apply for a traditional visa in order to enter New Zealand. To find out if you are eligible for an eTA, visit eTA New Zealand.
