You can apply for a visa online or through the New Zealand embassy or consulate in your home country. The processing time for visas varies, so be sure to apply early enough to allow yourself plenty of time before your trip.
Step 4: Attend Your Visa Interview (if required)
Some visa applicants may be required to attend an interview at the New Zealand embassy or consulate. This is an opportunity for the immigration officer to assess your eligibility for a visa.

Once your visa application has been approved, you will receive your visa in the form of a sticker in your passport. You must carry your visa with you when you travel to New Zealand.
Here are some additional tips for applying for a New Zealand visa:
- Start your planning well in advance of your trip. The process of applying for a visa can take several weeks or even months.
- Make sure you have all of the required documents. Incomplete applications will not be processed.
- Be honest and accurate when completing your visa application form. Any misrepresentation of information can lead to your application being denied.
