The New Zealand eTA (NZeTA) is a new entry requirement for citizens of Bahrain. The NZeTA replaces the current visa waiver program and will come into effect on October 1st, 2019.
The NZeTA will allow eligible citizens of Bahrain to apply for an electronic travel authority to enter New Zealand. This travel authority will be linked to your passport and will be valid for multiple entries into New Zealand over a period of two years.
Applying for a NZeTA is quick and easy, and can be done online through the Immigration New Zealand website. Read on for more information about the NZeTA and how to apply.
What Is The NZeTA?
The New Zealand Electronic Travel Authority (NZeTA) allows eligible citizens of Bahrain to apply for an electronic travel authority to visit New Zealand. The NZeTA is valid for multiple visits of up to 90 days per visit, and is available for a maximum of 10 years. You must have a passport that is valid for at least three months beyond your planned date of departure from New Zealand.
To apply for an NZeTA, you will need to provide your contact details, passport information, and answer some questions about your health and character. You will also need to pay a fee. Once you have submitted your application, you will receive an email confirming your NZeTA has been processed.
If you are travelling to New Zealand on business, you may be eligible for a Business Visa instead of an NZeTA. For more information on Business Visas, please see the Immigration New Zealand website.
