What is the New Zealand ETA (NZeTA)?

The New Zealand eVisa is an electronic travel authorization required for travelers from visa-waiver countries, cruise passengers, and transit passengers flying through Auckland International Airport. Introduced in 2019 by the New Zealand government, the ETA is valid for 2 years and allows multiple entries, each for up to 90 days.

Unlike a traditional visa, the NZeTA is not a visa. It’s a pre-screening process to ensure travelers meet New Zealand’s border security and health criteria.

Who Needs a New Zealand ETA?

You need an NZeTA if:

• You are a citizen of a visa waiver country (e.g., the USA, UK, Canada, most EU nations).

• You are transiting through New Zealand to another destination.

• You are a cruise ship passenger, regardless of nationality.

You do not need an NZeTA if:

• You hold a valid New Zealand visa.

• You are an Australian citizen (though Australian permanent residents may need one).

• You are a New Zealand citizen or resident.
