Frequently Asked Questions About New Zealand

Clear answers on eligibility, processing times, validity, and entry requirements.

What is the New Zealand Electronic Travel Authority (NZeTA)?

The NZeTA is an electronic travel authority introduced by Immigration New Zealand (INZ) for citizens of 60 visa-waiver nations, all cruise ship passengers, and transit passengers transiting through Auckland International Airport (AKL). It allows holders to travel to New Zealand without applying for a traditional consular visa. The NZeTA is valid for 2 years (or 5 years for airline and cruise crew) and permits multiple entries of up to 90 days per visit (or up to 6 months for British citizens).

What is the International Visitor Conservation and Tourism Levy (IVL)?

The International Visitor Conservation and Tourism Levy (IVL) is a mandatory government fee paid alongside the NZeTA by most international tourists. Revenue collected from the IVL directly funds public conservation projects, national parks, wildlife protection, and sustainable tourism infrastructure across New Zealand. When you apply through NomadicMart, the IVL is automatically calculated and bundled into your transparent all-inclusive total.

Can NomadicMart guarantee approval of my NZeTA?

No agency or private facilitator can guarantee NZeTA issuance. All decisions regarding travel authorizations and border admission are made solely by Immigration New Zealand and the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment. NomadicMart is an independent application concierge service not affiliated with the New Zealand Government or immigration.govt.nz. We ensure your application is verified and error-free.

Do Australian citizens or permanent residents need an NZeTA?

Australian citizens traveling on an Australian passport do not need an NZeTA or a visa to enter New Zealand, as they are granted a resident visa automatically on arrival under the Trans-Tasman Travel Arrangement. However, Australian permanent residents (holding passports from other nations) must hold an approved NZeTA before traveling to New Zealand, though they are exempt from paying the IVL levy.

What are New Zealand's strict biosecurity rules on arrival?

New Zealand enforces some of the world's strictest biosecurity laws to protect its unique agricultural economy and native ecosystem. Upon arrival, you must complete a Passenger Arrival Card and declare all food, fruit, vegetables, meat products, plants, camping equipment, and used hiking boots. Undeclared risk goods will lead to an immediate non-negotiable instant fine of 400 NZD or criminal prosecution.
