The New Zealand Visitor Visa is designed for eligible travellers who want to visit New Zealand temporarily for purposes such as tourism, visiting family or friends, or other permitted visitor activities.
Immigration New Zealand assesses applications based on factors including the genuine purpose of travel, health and character requirements, financial arrangements and whether the applicant meets the conditions of the visa.

Dedicated assistance for applicants travelling from India to New Zealand.
If you are planning to travel from India to New Zealand for a holiday, family visit or other permitted visitor purpose, obtaining the appropriate visa or travel authority is an important part of your travel preparation. The New Zealand Visitor Visa application requires applicants to provide relevant information and supporting evidence so that Immigration New Zealand can assess whether the requirements are met.
A well-prepared application should present your circumstances clearly. Your travel purpose, proposed stay, financial arrangements, personal circumstances and intention to leave New Zealand at the end of your authorised stay can all be relevant to the assessment.
Applicants need to demonstrate that they have sufficient funds to support themselves during their stay, unless an acceptable sponsorship arrangement applies. Immigration New Zealand's visitor visa guidance currently refers to minimum maintenance funds of NZ$1,000 per month, or NZ$400 per month where accommodation has been prepaid.
If your purpose is to visit family or friends in New Zealand, additional evidence may be relevant to explain the relationship, invitation, accommodation and financial arrangements. The supporting evidence should be consistent with the information provided in the application.
For tourism applications, applicants may need to provide information about their intended trip, accommodation, financial arrangements and travel plans. The strength of an application comes from presenting genuine circumstances and relevant evidence clearly rather than simply submitting a large number of documents.
Sri Karthikeya Smart Visas provides guidance for applicants seeking a New Zealand Visitor Visa from India. From initial profile assessment and document preparation to application review and submission guidance, our objective is to make the visa preparation process more organised and transparent.
