Eligibility For Taiwan Citizen

Nationals of Taiwan are required to apply for an NZeTA visa for short-term entry into New Zealand (less than 90 days) for general tourist, business, transit, or medical purposes. The eTA program was launched in 2019 to screen tourists arriving from overseas in response to a global spike in terrorist activity.

NZeTA program was approved to develop the systems needed to interact with existing immigration databases and other security data to provide the new, seamless verification tool. Nationals of Taiwan must complete this eTA application before boarding a flight to New Zealand. The NZETA e-Visa is suitable for many purposes such as leisure, personal, business and transit travel. The visa is not suitable for visiting a doctor or traveling to New Zealand for work.

How can I apply for a New Zealand visa from Taiwan?

New Zealand eTA for Taiwan nationals includes an online application form that can be filled out in less than five (5) minutes. Applicants must enter personal information, their contact details such as email and address, and information on the pages of their passports. The applicant must be in good health and have no criminal record. For more information, see the New Zealand eTA Application Form Guide.

Once Taiwanese citizens pay the fee to the New Zealand e-Travel Authority (NZeTA), the processing of their eTA application will begin. The New Zealand ETA is sent to Taiwanese citizens via email. If additional documentation is required, the applicant will be contacted before obtaining approval from the New Zealand e-Travel Authority (NZeTA) for Taiwanese nationals.
