What is the Visitor Visa for New Zealand?

Let's dive deeper into the Visitor Visa for New Zealand. This valid visa requires an in-person visit to a visa application center or embassy. This means you'll receive a stamp or sticker on your passport when approved.

With this traditional visa, Jordanian travelers can visit New Zealand to:

• Enjoy tourist activities like visiting museums and other sights (hello, Hobbiton!).

• Participate in sports tournaments and cultural activities - without getting paid.

• Visit family and friends in New Zealand.

• Enroll in short studies for no longer than 3 months.

• Get married (extra conditions apply).

Our tips and guidance make the application process smooth and easy.

Note that you can't work in New Zealand with this travel visa. Only those with a New Zealand Resident Visa or Work Visa can do paid work in the country. Contact your nearest New Zealand embassy for information on getting a Work Visa.

Can Jordanian passport holders apply for a New Zealand Electronic Travel Authority (ETA)?

Currently, no. Jordanian passport holders can only apply for the New Zealand Visitor Visa, not the ETA.

The New Zealand ETA is another entry permit for nationals from visa-waiver countries. While eligible travelers can enter visa-free, they cannot get a visa on arrival and must apply for the ETA before they go.

The main difference between the New Zealand ETA and the Visitor Visa is that the ETA is only available to citizens of certain countries. Additionally, the Visitor Visa is more beneficial for those planning to stay in New Zealand longer.

While the Visitor Visa requires a more extensive application process, you'll get your Visitor Visa quickly and affordably with our experts!

Do Jordanians need a Transit Visa for New Zealand?

Yes, Jordanian passport holders need a Transit Visa to transit at the airport in Auckland. Transit passengers are not allowed to transit at any other airport in New Zealand.

The only exception is when you are in transit in New Zealand to travel to Australia. However, you must hold a valid Australian Visa.

Validity of the New Zealand Visitor Visa

The New Zealand Visitor Visa allows travelers to stay up to 270 days in total within an 18-month period. It's a Multiple entry visa. This means you can visit the country multiple times as long as you do not exceed the cumulative 9 months.

Validity example: You have a valid Visitor Visa and travel to New Zealand to visit a friend for 3 months, after which you leave the country.

However, you love New Zealand so much that you enroll in a three-month, short-study program. You can still enter New Zealand within 15 months (18 months minus 3) and visit for up to 6 months (9 months minus 6).

Can Jordanian citizens extend their New Zealand Visitor Visa?

Before your New Zealand Visa expires, you can apply for another 3 months and extend the visa to 12 months in a 24-month period. Some conditions apply:

• You need more time for your travel plans.

• You can't leave New Zealand for reasons beyond your control.

• You've applied to become a New Zealand citizen for the first time (additional conditions apply).

New Zealand Visitor Visa fee: Costs for Jordanian citizens

• New Zealand government fee of US$153. It's a sum of the application, immigration, and international visitor fees.
