FAQs
New Zealand visitor visa FAQs
What is NZeTA vs visitor visa?
+
NZeTA is an electronic travel authority for visa-waiver countries — Indian passport holders need the full visitor visa, not NZeTA.
Can I get multi-entry to New Zealand?
+
Yes — 12-month, 2-year and 3-year multi-entry visas are common for genuine tourists with good travel history.
How much money should I show?
+
NZD 1,000 per month of stay, or NZD 400/month if accommodation is pre-paid. Bank statements + FDs work well.
