All passport holders from the following 60 countries need an eTA for New Zealand


If you travel to New Zealand on holiday, you'll need to get either a New Zealand Electronic Travel Authority (NZeTA) or a visitor visa — unless you're an Australian citizen.

The New Zealand Government has introduced a new travel requirement for some visitors and transit passengers, including from visa waiver countries such as the United Kingdom.

It’s called the NZeTA - New Zealand Electronic Travel Authority.

The NZeTA is issued by Immigration New Zealand (INZ) and is required for travel from 1 October 2019.

UK passport holders must have an NZeTA issued before travelling to New Zealand, if they don’t have a visa.   Travellers need to request their NZeTA via the official mobile App or website.  Approval is usually processed that day but can take up to 72 hours.

The information on this page covers the most common types of travel and reflects the UK government’s understanding of the rules currently in place. Unless otherwise stated, this information is for travellers using a full ‘British Citizen’ passport.

The authorities in the country or territory you’re travelling to are responsible for setting and enforcing the rules for entry. If you’re unclear about any aspect of the entry requirements, or you need further reassurance, you’ll need to contact the embassy, high commission or consulate of the country or territory you’re travelling to.

You should also consider checking with your transport provider or travel company to make sure your passport and other travel documents meet their requirements.

There are a small number of additional, limited exceptions to the ban on travelling to and entering New Zealand. The following people should seek approval from Immigration New Zealand (INZ) using the limited exceptions process:

The Electronic Travel Authority is an electronic authorisation which is issued in PDF format and is not visibly attached to the related passport. This form of visa waiver will be generated online through the designated website and will be submitted to the applicant’s inbox via email.

By gathering and screening vital information on applicants before they leave their countries, which can be verified against security databases, this new facilitation measure aims to expand security and accelerate border clearance procedures.

Many countries around the world already have or are presently implementing comparable measures to strengthen their borders and simplify the visa application process. The United States requires travellers from many countries, including the UK, to apply for their Electronic System for Travel Authorisation (ESTA), which is also completed online and is valid for two years.

Australia’s Electronic Travel Authority grants affected travellers a stay of up to 90 days for tourism or business purposes.

Europe’s ETIAS (European Travel Information and Authorisation System) will roll out in 2021. Visitors travelling to the Schengen Area will need this travel authorisation prior to embarking on their trip. The EU Commission has confirmed that travellers who are United Kingdom citizens will need to complete the online ETIAS application form to visit Europe after Brexit.
