Travel Smart Travel Fast is an independent private company. You can also apply directly on the official government website. www.immigration.govt.nz

What the eVisa is

100% online. Apply from any device, with no embassy or consulate visit required.

The New Zealand eVisa (Visitor Visa) is the electronic visa issued by Immigration New Zealand to travelers whose nationality needs a visa to visit New Zealand for tourism, family visits or short business trips. The whole application is online, with no embassy or consulate visit.

We guide you through every step of your New Zealand visitor visa application, check your details and documents before submission, and keep you updated by email until Immigration New Zealand makes a decision. Your eVisa is linked electronically to your passport, and the approval letter is sent to your inbox.

What you'll need

  • Passport valid for at least 3 months after your planned departure from New Zealand
  • Recent passport-style digital photograph
  • Travel dates and return or onward travel booking
  • Accommodation details in New Zealand
  • Personal and contact information
  • Valid email address to receive your decision
Processing time
Set by Immigration New Zealand and it varies by nationality and season, so apply well before your trip.
Validity
Valid for the period and conditions stated on your eVisa approval letter.
Entries
Set by Immigration New Zealand and shown on your eVisa approval letter.
At the border
Your eVisa is linked electronically to your passport. Travel with the same passport you applied with and keep the approval letter on your phone or as a printout.

Four steps, and you know all four

Most services show you three. The fourth one is real, so here it is.

  1. 01

    Your trip

    When you arrive and leave, and where to email the eVisa.

  2. 02

    Your travelers

    Passport details for everyone traveling. Photograph the passport page and we fill it in for you.

  3. 03

    Review and pay

    Choose your review speed. Every line itemized before you pay a cent.

  4. 04After payment

    Arrival details

    Airline, flight number and your address in New Zealand. About 2 minutes, once your payment clears.

What it costs

The application is $99.99 per traveler, charged for at most 2 travelers. That covers a 2-hour review by a person. Faster review is optional, priced below, and never pre-selected.

If New Zealand is not accepting the eVisa for your dates yet, we hold the application and start the clock when its window opens. Checkout shows you that date before you pay. Times are counted from the moment we can submit, not from payment. Speeds move your application up our review queue; they do not change how fast the government processes it once submitted, and they are not a guarantee of approval.

2 travelers pay $199.98, and so does a larger party: our fee stops at 2 and New Zealand adds nothing on top.

What $99.99 adds to the free portal

New Zealand's official portal works, and it costs nothing. Here is the difference, line by line.

  • The official portal, in your own time. It works.
  • The portal goes down for maintenance and times your session out. Every retry is yours to make.
  • You have to remember the day the window opens, and count back from your arrival yourself.
  • A typo in a passport number is yours to catch, and to fix at the airport.
  • Every traveler entered separately, from scratch, with nobody to ask when a field is unclear.

Questions, answered straight

Still unsure?

A person answers on chat, 24/7, before and after you apply.

Yes. The official portal is www.immigration.govt.nz and it costs nothing. We are a paid service: we fill the form in with you, check it against New Zealand's rules, submit it on the day the window opens, and keep a human on chat if anything snags. If you would rather do that yourself, do. The link is on this page.
