Official price and route
Immigration New Zealand links the official web form and NZeTA apps from its government site. The app costs NZ$17 and the web form costs NZ$23. Most travellers must pay the NZ$100 visitor levy in the same transaction 1.
The authority says the NZeTA is valid for two years for travellers. It permits visits of up to three months, or up to six months for UK citizens, subject to entry rules 3.
What Immigration New Zealand warns about
The agency says some third-party NZeTA sites are not legitimate. It tells travellers to use the official website or app so they are not overcharged or promised shorter timeframes 2.
A third party cannot prioritise or fast-track an NZeTA. Immigration New Zealand says the transaction is between the traveller and the outside site if one is used 2.
Before you pay
- Start at immigration.govt.nz and follow its NZeTA link 3.
- Check that the app publisher and download link come from Immigration New Zealand 1.
- Expect the NZeTA and visitor levy to appear as separate official amounts 1.
- Reject a promise of priority approval from a private provider 2.
- Use the official status checker before submitting a second request 4.
If you used another site
Keep the receipt and check the NZeTA status on the official system. The official terms say not to reapply immediately if an email does not arrive. Check status first 4.
Call your bank or card issuer if the price or service was not disclosed. The official NZeTA fee and visitor levy are normally not refundable after a valid official submission 4.
