Yes, every traveler, including children and minors, must have their own individual New Zealand eTA approval.
What You Need to Know
There are no age-based exemptions for the New Zealand eTA. Each child, regardless of age, must have a separate application linked to their own passport. The application may include information about the child’s parent or guardian. Requirements can vary slightly based on nationality, so it’s important to check the specific rules that apply to your family’s travel.
Our Recommendation
Parents or guardians should apply separately for each child well in advance of travel. Be sure to enter all details correctly to help avoid processing delays.
A Quick Tip
Prepare all necessary documents for your child’s application, including a valid passport and, if required, proof of relationship such as a birth certificate.
