Planning your next big adventure?
Well, if you’re looking for a destination filled with adrenaline-pumping activities and beautiful sights to see, why not take a trip to New Zealand?
New Zealand is the perfect destination for tourists – especially if you enjoy the great outdoors!
With stunning landscapes, tonnes of fun attractions and friendly locals, New Zealand has lots to offer the tourist.
You should know that if you plan on visiting New Zealand for tourist or business purposes, you may be required to secure a visa before your trip.
Securing a visa for any trip can be stressful, that’s why we have put together this useful article that tells you everything you need to know about the New Zealand ETA.
The New Zealand ETA (Electronic Travel Authority) is an electronic document which gives you authorisation to visit New Zealand for tourism or business purposes.
This ETA was established in 2019 and allows citizens of the visa waiver countries to travel to New Zealand without a visa.
The ETA is a multiple-entry visa allowing you to take multiple trips to New Zealand during its validity.
With the New Zealand ETA, each time you visit New Zealand you will be able to stay in the country for up to three months at a time. This gives you plenty of time to explore everything the “Paradise of the Pacific” has to offer.
Keep in mind that if you are a UK citizen, you can stay in New Zealand for six months at a time with the New Zealand ETA.
