Brazil is part of New Zealand's visa-waiver programme. Get your NZeTA online and experience New Zealand's breathtaking scenery, thrilling adventures, and warm Kiwi hospitality.
Brazil is one of South America's largest and most dynamic tourism markets, and New Zealand has seen a significant growth in Brazilian visitors over recent years. Brazilians are renowned for their love of adventure, outdoor experiences, and vibrant local culture — all of which New Zealand delivers in abundance. The dramatic scenery of Fiordland, the adrenaline-pumping activities of Queenstown, the geothermal wonders of Rotorua, and the pristine beaches of the Coromandel Peninsula offer a travel experience unlike anywhere else in the world. For Brazilian travellers seeking a destination that combines natural splendour with world-class adventure tourism, New Zealand is an exceptional choice.
The journey from Brazil to New Zealand is a long-haul adventure in itself. From São Paulo's Guarulhos International Airport (GRU), the flight to Auckland (AKL) takes approximately 18–20 hours, typically routing via Los Angeles, Santiago, or Sydney. LATAM, Air New Zealand, and Qantas are common carriers for this route. With Brazil now part of New Zealand's NZeTA programme, Brazilian passport holders no longer need to apply for a traditional visitor visa — the NZeTA covers all the necessary travel authorisation.
Brazilian citizens need an NZeTA before travelling to New Zealand. Apply online — takes under 10 minutes.
The New Zealand Electronic Travel Authority (NZeTA) is a mandatory pre-travel requirement for all Brazilian passport holders visiting or transiting through New Zealand. It is a digital travel authorisation — not a visa — that is electronically linked to your Brazilian passport. There is no physical stamp or document; the NZeTA is stored in New Zealand's border management system and is automatically verified when you check in for your flight.
Unlike the old paper-based or embassy-issued visa process, the NZeTA is applied for entirely online in just a few minutes. It is valid for two years from the date of issue (or until your passport expires, whichever is sooner) and allows multiple visits to New Zealand, each for up to 90 days. Apply well in advance of your travel date — while most applications are processed within 24–72 hours, it is recommended to apply at least 72 hours before departure.
Enter your personal details, Brazilian passport information, and travel purpose. The process takes 5–10 minutes on any device.
Enter your Brazilian passport number, issue and expiry dates. No physical document upload required.
Pay securely by credit or debit card. The fee includes the NZeTA charge and the IVL conservation levy.
Most applicants receive NZeTA approval within 24–72 hours. Keep your confirmation email for check-in.
Brazilian travellers love New Zealand's outdoor adventures, vibrant cities, and extraordinary natural scenery — here are the highlights you cannot miss.
Your entry point to New Zealand. Auckland's stunning harbour, diverse food scene, and vibrant nightlife make it a fantastic first stop. Visit the Sky Tower, explore Waiheke Island's vineyards, and take a ferry to the volcanic Rangitoto Island.
Known as the adventure capital of the world, Queenstown is a Brazilian favourite. Bungee jumping, skydiving, jet boating, and skiing combine with stunning Alpine scenery and some of New Zealand's best restaurants and bars.
Experience New Zealand's volcanic heartland. Rotorua's bubbling mud pools, erupting geysers, and the opportunity to experience authentic Māori culture through traditional performances and hāngi feasts make it a truly unique destination.
Fiordland's crown jewel, Milford Sound offers some of the most dramatic scenery on Earth. Cruise between towering fjord walls, watch waterfalls cascade into the mirror-calm water, and spot penguins, dolphins, and fur seals in the wild.
