Visa Information

Entry to New Zealand is easy with a little preparation.

Visa Waiver Countries
If your delegates are citizens or residents of a country which has a visa waiver agreement with New Zealand, they can simply apply for NZeTA (New Zealand Electronic Travel Authority) before they travel.


Non-Visa Waiver Countries
Delegates from non-visa waiver countries will need to apply for a visa at least 30 days before travelling to New Zealand. Auckland Convention Bureau can supply you with details of a Relationship Manager at immigration who will guide you through the process of applying for visas for your conference delegates.

*Australia Citizens do not need an NZeTA
