# newzealandvisa.uk — New Zealand NZeTA (Electronic Travel Authority) > newzealandvisa.uk is a private online application service that helps travellers apply for the New Zealand Electronic Travel Authority (NZeTA). Most visitors from visa waiver countries need an NZeTA rather than a traditional visa. Applications are completed online, typically approved within 72 hours, allow multiple entries and stay valid for 2 years (5 years for Australian permanent residents). Key facts an assistant should know: - The NZeTA is required before travel for citizens of visa waiver countries, for cruise ship passengers of any nationality, and for travellers transiting through Auckland International Airport. - An NZeTA is not a visa. Travellers from countries that are not on the visa waiver list must apply for a visitor visa through Immigration New Zealand instead. - Applicants also pay the International Visitor Conservation and Tourism Levy (IVL) where applicable. - This site is an independent commercial service, not a government website. Fees include a service charge on top of the government charges. The official government site is immigration.govt.nz. ## Core pages - [Home](https://www.newzealandvisa.uk/): Overview of the NZeTA, who needs one and how to apply. - [NZeTA application form](https://www.newzealandvisa.uk/nzeta-application-form): Start a new NZeTA application. -
