Why would a New Zealand ETA be refused?
While the New Zealand ETA application process is straightforward, certain factors can lead to rejection.
Incomplete or incorrect documentation
Errors in the application form or missing documents can lead to immediate rejection. Ensure all required details are accurate and up to date.
Insufficient financial resources
Applicants must provide proof of adequate funds to support their stay. Failure to meet this requirement can result in refusal.
Previous immigration violations
A history of visa overstays or other immigration infractions may negatively impact your application.
Lack of ties to home country
If authorities suspect you may overstay your visit, they may request additional proof of strong ties to your home country, such as employment or family commitments.
Validity and duration of New Zealand ETA
The New Zealand ETA provides travelers with flexible entry options for short-term visits.
Length of stay
The New Zealand ETA allows stays of up to 90 days per visit (or six months for some passport holders). It is valid for two years from the date of approval.
Single entry vs. multiple entry
A multiple-entry ETA permits travelers to enter and exit New Zealand multiple times within the two-year validity period, making it ideal for those planning regional travel.
