New Zealand on your mind?
Start with the essentials.

The New Zealand Electronic Travel Authority, or NZeTA, is a travel requirement for certain eligible visitors and transit passengers. Whether you need one depends on your passport and how you plan to travel.

Think of it as one part of your preparation. Understanding your eligibility, checking your documents and knowing what to expect at arrival can help you plan with greater clarity.

    Be ready to show your onward travel and evidence that you can support your stay, if requested.

waiting down here.

Your NZeTA questions, answered.

No. An NZeTA is an electronic travel authority for eligible travellers. It allows you to travel to New Zealand, but does not guarantee entry. Border authorities decide whether you can enter when you arrive.
