Most travelers can stay in New Zealand for up to 90 days per visit with an approved eTA.
What You Need to Know
The permitted length of stay under a New Zealand eTA (NZeTA) is typically 90 days per entry for travelers from visa waiver countries. However, this can vary depending on your nationality and individual travel circumstances. It’s important to note that the length of stay is different from the overall validity period of the NZeTA, which is generally two years. Each entry must occur during the NZeTA’s validity, but the allowed stay duration is ultimately determined by New Zealand immigration officers upon arrival.
Our Recommendation
After receiving your approved NZeTA, carefully check the official travel documentation and when entering New Zealand, make sure to carry a clear travel itinerary and proof of onward travel.
A Quick Tip
Always respect the maximum stay limit of 90 days per visit to avoid any issues with New Zealand immigration or future travel to the country.
