Get your New Zealand Electronic Travel Authority approved in as little as 24 hours — 100% online, no embassy visit required. Serving travellers from the UK, US, and 60+ visa-waiver countries.
The New Zealand ETA (Electronic Travel Authority) is a mandatory entry authorisation for eligible travellers from visa-waiver countries planning to visit, transit, or travel through New Zealand by air or sea. Introduced by the New Zealand Government, the NZeTA replaced the need for a traditional visitor visa for qualifying nationalities.
The NZeTA is valid for two years from approval (or until your passport expires, whichever is sooner) and allows multiple entries into New Zealand. Each individual visit may last up to 90 days — or up to 6 months for UK citizens under the bilateral visa-waiver arrangement.
The New Zealand ETA application is 100% online and takes less than 10 minutes. Most approvals arrive within 24–72 hours.
