What fellow traveler said about the visa application with us
UK passport - good to know my UK passport gives a 6-month stay, not 3. The team confirmed it and reminded me to do the Traveller Declaration before flying.
German passport - booked a cruise that called at NZ ports and did not realise cruise passengers still need an NZeTA. eVisas sorted all four of us before we sailed.
Who needs a New Zealand eTA
Read the details below
If you hold a passport from one of the 60 visa-waiver countries - including the UK, US, Canada, the EU, Japan and South Korea - you do not need a visa, but you must hold an NZeTA before you fly or board a cruise.
Australian citizens do not need one; everyone else needs a visitor visa. Your NZeTA includes the Conservation and Tourism Levy and lasts 2 years for multiple visits.

Frequently Asked Questions
We offer three speeds: Express 12 working hours, Priority 2 working days, and Standard 3 working days. New Zealand Immigration usually issues the NZeTA within minutes, but it can take up to 72 hours if extra checks are needed - so our tiers guarantee a firm timeline. Apply at least a few days before you fly or board your cruise. Track every status change from your eVisas dashboard - we email you the moment your approved eTA is ready.
