New Zealand is a country of exceptional beauty, demanding equally exceptional preparation for your visa application. The key to securing your Visitor Visa lies in clearly demonstrating two core commitments: genuine intent to leave and unquestionable financial stability.
Here is the essential checklist to transform your travel aspirations into reality.
Visa Requirements: Stay Duration and Study Limits
The New Zealand Visitor Visa allows stays of up to 6 or 9 months and can be used for tourism, visiting family, or short business trips.

Key Fact |
The Rule |
The Crucial Detail |
|
Maximum Study |
3 months (12 weeks) only. |
If your language course or study program exceeds 3 months, you must apply for a specific Student Visa. |
|
Working |
STRICTLY PROHIBITED. |
You cannot look for or take any local paid work. Remote work for an overseas employer is generally permitted. |
|
Processing Time |
Approximately 3 weeks for 80% of applications. |
Do not book non-refundable travel until your visa is officially approved. |
Immigration New Zealand (INZ) must be convinced that you can support yourself financially without working during your entire stay, and that your funds are readily available.
The greatest risk of refusal comes from the perception that you may overstay your visa. You must proactively demonstrate "Strong Ties" to your home country.
