Step 1: Passport Information

Request your NZeTA

If your passport details are not correct you may not be able to travel.

Request an NZeTA

Use this form to request an NZeTA (New Zealand Electronic Travel Authority) and pay for an International Visitor Conservation and Tourism Levy (IVL).

Mobile
app

The fastest way to request your NZeTA is by downloading our free app to your mobile phone. If you use the app it will take you less than 5 minutes to complete your request.

You can use the app to scan your passport to instantly upload your details and scan your credit or debit card for ease of payment.

Cost and processing time

An NZeTA request costs NZD $17 on our free app, or NZD $23 if completed online.

Allow 72 hours for your NZeTA request to be processed. Many requests will be processed more quickly.

You need:

a valid passport that you will use to travel to New Zealand
a credit card or debit card (Visa or Mastercard)
an email address
a photo of your face, or a device that can take one.

The IVL

If you are entering New Zealand you must also pay an IVL, which funds tourism infrastructure and helps protect our natural environment. You pay the IVL at the same time as you request your NZeTA. The IVL costs NZD $100.

Photo Requirements

You need to provide a photo of your face that meets our requirements for NZeTA photos. You can either upload a recent photo or use your device’s camera to take a photo.
