Frequently asked questions
💰 What is the IVL tax and how do I claim it?
On 1 October 2019, the New Zealand government introduced the IVL tax (International Visitor Conservation and Tourism Levy). This compulsory tourist tax is charged automatically when you apply for NZeTA Tourism. It costs 35 NZD (19 €).
🤔 What is NZeTA?
The NZeTA (New Zealand Electronic Travel Authority) is an electronic travel authorisation system introduced by the New Zealand government in 2019. It is a compulsory travel authorisation for citizens of visa-exempt countries wishing to visit New Zealand for short stays (up to 3 months).
⏳ How long is the NZeTA valid for?
The NZeTA allows you to remain a maximum of 3 months per stay and up to 6 months per year in the country. Once issued, the NZeTA is valid for 2 years and you can enter and leave the country multiple times.
⏩ Want to extend your NZeTA?
If you wish to extend your document, you must apply to the application for a new NZeTA before it expires.
If you want to extend your stay in New Zealand, consider the Visitor Visa, allowing you to stay in New Zealand for up to 9 months, compared with 90 days for the NZeTA.
🛂 What should I do if I change my passport within 2 years?
If you change your passport during the 2-year validity of your visa, you can apply to renew your NZeTA (if issued by us) at no extra cost via our website. Please contact us via contact form.
✋ I have a stopover or transit in New Zealand, do I need an NZeTA?
NZeTA Transit is payable for transit through Auckland International Airport (only) or for cruise ship stopovers. For transit through other airports, a Tourism NZeTA will be required.
