NZeTA (New Zealand Electronic Travel Authority) Overview
The Electronic Travel Authority of New Zealand is a prominent and well-known electronic visa waiver. The committee was launched in the month of August in 2019. The travellers who are eligible as per the parameters can now easily get their visa for New Zealand ETA to visit this wonderful nation.
From 1 October 2019, it is requisite for the residents of different nations (i.e. 60 visa waiver countries) along with all the travellers that travel through cruise to carry a valid ETA Visa if they want to travel New Zealand. The entire available cruise lines, as well as airlines members also need to have a valid ETA if they are planning to visit New Zealand.
All the locals from those eligible nations can get their ETA Visa just by going online and submitting a simple and short application form. This process is quite simple and very less time taking. They don't need to visit the embassy/consulate for the procedure. The online application form filling is just a matter of a few minutes. Generally, it takes just one day to process an application but, in some cases, this can further extend to 2-3 days.
