Planning a trip to a foreign country takes a lot of consideration, and traveling to New Zealand makes no exception. One of the first things you need to take into account is the fact that you may need a visa in advance. While most people do, 60 nationalities are visa-exempt.
Even so, according to New Zealand’s visa policy, all visa-exempt nationalities, except Australians, must obtain a New Zealand ETA. The ETA was introduced in July 2019 and becomes mandatory as of October the same year. iVisa prepared a short and stress-free online application process.
