What the New Zealand eTA is
The NZeTA is an electronic travel authority for eligible visa-waiver travellers visiting or transiting through New Zealand. It is not a sticker or stamp: an approval is linked to the passport used in the application.
Most eligible travellers can use an approved NZeTA for multiple visits for up to two years. You must travel with the same passport, and an NZeTA does not guarantee entry at the border.
The New Zealand Traveller Declaration is separate from the NZeTA. Check the current declaration requirement for your journey and complete both processes when they apply.

Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers about the NZeTA and travelling to New Zealand.
What is the New Zealand eTA?
The NZeTA is an electronic travel authority for eligible visa-waiver travellers visiting or transiting through New Zealand. It is linked electronically to the passport used in the application.
Is the NZeTA the same as a visa?
No. It is an electronic travel authority for eligible travellers. People who are not eligible for an NZeTA may need a visitor or transit visa instead.
How long is an NZeTA valid?
An approved NZeTA is generally valid for multiple journeys for up to two years, or until the linked passport expires if that happens first.
What information should I have ready?
Use the passport you will travel with and have your personal details, contact information, eligibility answers and a suitable recent photo ready.
Do I also need a New Zealand Traveller Declaration?
The NZeTA and the New Zealand Traveller Declaration are separate requirements. Travellers should check and complete the declaration required for their journey before arrival.
Does an NZeTA guarantee entry?
No. An approved NZeTA permits eligible travellers to travel to New Zealand, but border authorities make the final decision on entry.
