About the New Zealand eTA visa
New Zealand's authorities have introduced a new visa waiver system. This system aims to improve the assessment process of travellers before their arrival in New Zealand. It will significantly reduce border clearance waiting times and will ultimately strengthen border security.
Do I need to apply for a New Zealand eTA?
You must apply for a New Zealand eTA visa if you are:
- visiting or in transit from a visa waiver country (see below for more information)
- a cruise ship passenger - regardless of your nationality
- or a permanent resident of Australia (Australian citizens do not need NZ eTA)
How long is a New Zealand eTA visa valid for?
This visa is valid for up to two years. You can enter the country multiple times during the validity period.

Hi Daisy, Just to confirm that David only arrived in Sydney this morning. He will organise an email address early next week and let you have it himself. Can I take this opportunity to thanks Visafirst for all their help and co-operation over the last few weeks regarding his emigration. He had no delays or disruption to any of his flights and was delighted with the service provided. I would highly recommend your service to other people looking to emigrate. Regards Fiona Farrell (Mother)

Dear Management, I would like to take this opportunity to commend the service we have received during our Skilled Visa process with Visa First, but particularly on the hand delivered service by Amanda Carter. She has been nothing but helpful, informative, responsive and professional. In all our dealings with her she has always taken the time to answer our questions and queries fully and promptly. She has a very friendly and positive attitude making the whole process a positive experience. I think employees and people like her deserve a thank you and more importantly recognition. Hard work, thoroughness and ability are part and parcel of her way of dealing with her clients. Thank you, Laura Magan
