Entry requirements for German passport holders for tourist travel to New Zealand
Visitors with a German passport can usually enter New Zealand without first applying for a Visitor Visa, provided their total stay in New Zealand is three months or less. Those visitors will still need to apply for an Electronic Travel Authority (NZeTA) prior to travel.
Information and application for an NZeTA are available at www.immigration.govt.nz/nzeta(external link).
Visa Applications (Work & Travel, Student Visa etc.)
Visa applications should be made using Immigration New Zealand’s online application service. Details on how to apply online can be found here: Immigration ONLINE(external link).
