The New Zealand Electronic Travel Authority (NZeTA) is a new requirement for all citizens of Sweden travelling to New Zealand. The NZeTA replaces the current Visitor’s Visa and makes it easier for Swedish citizens to apply for a travel authorization.
The NZeTA will become mandatory for all Swedish citizens travelling to New Zealand from October 1st, 2019. All travellers will need to obtain an NZeTA prior to booking their flight to New Zealand.
In this blog post, we will explain what the NZeTA is, how to apply for one, and what you need to do before your trip to New Zealand.
What Is The NZeTA?
The NZeTA (New Zealand Electronic Travel Authority) is a visa that allows citizens of eligible countries to travel to and stay in New Zealand for up to three months. The NZeTA is valid for multiple entry into New Zealand for a period of two years from the date of issue, or until your passport expires, whichever is sooner.
You will need an NZeTA if you are:
- Planning to travel to New Zealand for business, pleasure or transit
- A permanent resident of Sweden
- A Swedish citizen
- In possession of a valid Swedish passport
If you meet the requirements above, you can apply for an NZeTA by completing an online application form. After your application has been processed, you will receive an email confirmation with your NZeTA attached. You must then present your NZeTA along with your passport when you check in for your flight to New Zealand.
Once in New Zealand, you will need to present your passport and NZeTA at the border control point. Please note that the NZeTA does not entitle you to work in New Zealand – if you wish to do so, you will need to apply for a relevant visa.
Apply For An NZeTA For Citizens Of Sweden
If you are a citizen of Sweden, you will need to obtain a New Zealand Electronic Travel Authority (NZeTA) before you can travel to New Zealand. The NZeTA is an electronic travel authority that allows you to enter New Zealand for tourism or business purposes for up to nine months.
You can apply for an NZeTA online through the Immigration New Zealand website. You will need to provide your personal details, passport information, and contact information. You will also need to answer some questions about your health and criminal history. Once your application is submitted, you will usually receive a decision within 72 hours.
If your application is approved, you will receive an NZeTA via email. You must then present this NZeTA, along with your passport, when you check in for your flight to New Zealand. For more information about the NZeTA and how to apply, please visit the Immigration New Zealand website.
