From the snow-capped Southern Alps to the glowing Waitomo Caves, New Zealand is a dream destination for many Indian travelers. But before you pack your bags for this enchanting island nation, it’s essential to understand the process of obtaining a New Zealand Tourist Visa from India.
In this blog, we’ll take you through everything you need to know—from eligibility to documentation to expert tips—so your Kiwi adventure is stress-free and unforgettable.
The New Zealand Visitor Visa allows Indian citizens to enter the country for tourism, sightseeing, visiting family or friends, or short-term recreational purposes. This visa is typically granted for up to 9 months in an 18-month period, depending on your purpose and profile.
You cannot work or study long-term on this visa, but you can experience the culture, nature, and beauty of New Zealand as a tourist.
To be eligible, you must:
Be a genuine visitor
Have sufficient funds (around NZD 1,000/month or proof of sponsorship)
Have a valid passport
Intend to leave New Zealand at the end of your stay
Have no serious criminal convictions
Be in good health
Getting your documents right is crucial to avoid rejections or delays. You’ll need:
Valid passport (with at least 3 months' validity beyond departure)
Visa application form (INZ 1017 and INZ 1189 if sponsored)
Passport-sized photos
Travel itinerary and accommodation details
Proof of funds (bank statements, pay slips, tax returns)
Income proof or job letter
Cover letter explaining travel purpose
Sponsor documents (if applicable)
Travel insurance (recommended)
