🇳🇿 New Zealand · Tourist Visa

Tourist and visitor visa requirements, visa-free entry, duration, and application steps.

Many visitors to New Zealand from visa-waiver countries travel on an NZeTA (New Zealand Electronic Travel Authority), which must be requested before flying; others apply for a Visitor visa. Visits are generally for up to three to nine months depending on circumstances. Since 27 January 2025, visitor visas and the NZeTA allow incidental remote work for an employer outside New Zealand.

  • Visa-waiver visitors need an NZeTA before travel; others apply for a Visitor visa.
  • Since 27 Jan 2025, incidental remote work for an overseas employer is allowed on a visitor visa/NZeTA.
  • You cannot work for a New Zealand employer or provide services to people in New Zealand.
