What is NZETA?

NZETA stands for New Zealand Electronic Travel Authority. It's a digital travel authorization that allows citizens of eligible countries to visit New Zealand without needing a traditional visa. This modern system has replaced traditional paper visas for most visitors, making travel to New Zealand faster, easier, and more convenient than ever before.

Introduced to streamline border security and enhance visitor experience, NZETA uses electronic authorization linked directly to your passport. Once approved, you don't need to carry any physical documents – your authorization is stored digitally in the New Zealand immigration system.

The NZETA authorization is valid for 2 years and allows multiple entries to New Zealand, with each visit permitted for up to 3 months. This makes it ideal for tourists, business travelers, and those planning multiple trips to the country.

Enhanced Security

Advanced security screening to keep New Zealand safe while making legitimate travel easy

Transparent Process

Clear requirements and instant feedback on your application status

Easy to Manage

Digital authorization means no physical documents to carry or worry about losing

Globally Recognized

Trusted by travel agents, airlines, and tourism operators worldwide
