What the New Zealand eTA is

The NZeTA is an electronic travel authority for eligible visa-waiver travellers visiting or transiting through New Zealand. It is not a sticker or stamp: an approval is linked to the passport used in the application.

Most eligible travellers can use an approved NZeTA for multiple visits for up to two years. You must travel with the same passport, and an NZeTA does not guarantee entry at the border.

The New Zealand Traveller Declaration is separate from the NZeTA. Check the current declaration requirement for your journey and complete both processes when they apply.
