Visa to Visit New Zealand

Visa Bureau is not affiliated with the New Zealand Government but is a website. NZ visas are available from the NZ Government at a lower cost when you apply directly. Our comprehensive visa and immigration information include immigration advice from registered migration agents, an exceptional success rate, document checking and visa processing.

If you wish to visit New Zealand for a period longer than 3 months as a tourist, you will need to apply for a Visitor's Visa.

You may apply for a Visitor's Visa if:

Visitor's Visas are valid for 9 months in an 18 month period. Under certain circumstances you may be eligible to extend your 9 month stay by a further 3 months.

To extend your Visitor's Visa, you will have to show that during your stay:

If you have already stayed in New Zealand for 9 months or more, you will need to remain out of the country for the same amount of time you visited (or longer) before you can again return as a visitor.

You must also be able to meet all health and character requirements to be granted a visa for your visit to New Zealand.
