Visa to enter New Zealand 

Do I need a visa?

Check to see whether you need a visitor visa to come to New Zealand.

If your home country is on our visa-waiver list, you can enter New Zealand without a visa, depending on how long you want to stay.

If you are not from a visa-waiver country you will need a visa. The detailed guidance about how to obtain a visa can be found on the Immigration New Zealand website http://www.immigration.govt.nz/

If you do require a letter of invitation in support of your Visa application, please complete and return this form  Request for Invitation Letter at your earliest convenience to Ms Heather Cooper
