New Zealand visa
Auckland
A New Zealand Visitor Visa is for holidays, family visits and study of up to three months; it does not permit work, and Immigration New Zealand decides whether you get a single or multiple-entry visa. A multiple-entry visa allows six months in any twelve, capped at nine months in any eighteen. Some nationalities travel on an NZeTA instead and skip the visa entirely. Immigration New Zealand publishes its own advice on this and we repeat it: do not book non-refundable travel until the visa is approved.
