Teach you how to apply for a New Zealand tourist visa in DIY in Australia.

1. Two recent passport photos: 45mm* 35mm in color.

2. Passport: It is valid for at least three months at the beginning of the tour. You can provide a certified copy of your passport, but it will be faster to provide the original passport.

3. valid visa in Australia: the letter of approval for student visa or other visa is printed.

4. Proof of attendance: Enrolment verification/statement of enrollment is held in the student center of the school. Each school has a different name. Tell the staff about your use, and they will know which one to offer, including student number, Australian address and course attendance status. This is strong evidence that you won't stay in New Zealand and never come back.

Note: Graduates can provide graduation confirmation letters to prove that they will go back to Australia to attend the graduation ceremony; Students with 485 visas can provide materials to prove that they are taking language courses or PY or working.

5.? Proof of funds:? To prove that you can pay for travel and accommodation, the acceptable proof of funds are: bank statement of Australia, copy of traveler's check, bank draft, bank letter and parents' income certificate.

I suggest you provide a 3-month bank statement, plus credit card bills. Unless money is tight, don't choose friends to provide accommodation, because once it comes to visiting friends, you need to provide a lot of materials and invitation letters.

6. proof of itinerary: air ticket, airline or travel agency reservation confirmation.

You don't need to issue a ticket, just book a ticket, which can be issued by Chinese travel agencies in general.

Some students have already determined the travel time, so they buy tickets early for fear of ticket price increase, and provide a ticket confirmation form. However, if the time is not specifically confirmed, it is recommended not to issue tickets.

In addition, it is recommended to make a simple itinerary including time, scenic spot arrangement and accommodation to prove the travel intention.

7.? Physical examination certificate: no physical examination is required for visitors under 6 months.

8: proof of kinship: if you apply with your partner or minor children, you need documents to prove the relationship: for example, marriage certificate, cohabitation certificate and child's birth certificate.

9. Paper application for credit card deduction of service fee, download and print it out and fill it out.

fill in the application form

when the materials are ready, you can start to fill in the form (visitor visa application, inz 117)

fill in the form in capital letters, including:

Section A: personal information.

Section B: contact information and residential address.

note: keep the address in the provided materials consistent with this address. For example, some students often move, and the address on the bank bill and the address on the school's reading certificate have not been updated.

Section C: partner information (skipped by single dog). The partner can fill out a form to apply together, saving the application fee, and the partner provides two passport photos.

Section D: information about children.

Section E: health statement, generally no.

Section F: proof of conduct, generally no. You don't need to provide a certificate of innocence if you don't intend to stay in New Zealand for more than 24 months.

Section G: visa type.

G1' s planned arrival and departure time in New Zealand (consistent with the itinerary and air ticket); G2: For the purpose of travel, choose holiday／vacation. It is not recommended to choose friends and relatives, which will increase the tendency of immigration.

Section H: financial support (see point 5 above)

Section I: applicant's signature

Section J: immigration agent's signature (can be skipped)

Section L: you can choose to pay the application fee by bank check, credit card or cash, and you can pay it at the embassy site.

Submission of materials

Method 1: Mail the passport, application form and application materials to:

Visa Application Centre Level 6,66 Hunter Street, Sydney, New South Wales 2, AUSTRALIA

You can choose the method of sending back the documents: 1. Send back the mailing address in the application form and put a prepaid letter in it (for sending back).

There are three kinds of envelopes officially recommended for sending passports:

Express Post Platinum: Overnight Delivery. Signature Required on Delivery;

Registered Post Envelope: Delivery could take 3-5 business days. Signature required on delivery; Or

a pre-arranged pre-paid courier service.

In short, make sure at the post office when you buy the envelope, and don't lose your passport.

method 2: online application, online uploading materials

is only suitable for single application, because if you apply with your family or partner, you need to go through the paper application channel.

the main steps are: applying for an account, activating an account, filling in online application materials, uploading materials and submitting an application.

Because photos and materials need to be scanned and uploaded, there are requirements for format and file size. It is said that someone uploaded photos more than 2 times but failed to meet the standard, and the passport needs to be scanned. However, the advantages of online submission are low application fee, no need to submit a passport and faster approval.

After submitting the application,

New Zealand visas are both electronic visas like Australian visas, so just check your email address or log in to an online registered account.

There are two ways for applicants in Australia to inquire. You can only inquire about the passport movements, and you will not be informed of the application results.

The official said that it will take 2 working days to get the result after receiving the online application, and 25 working days after receiving the paper application. According to the actual application progress, as long as the materials are fully prepared, you can receive a reply in about 1-2 weeks. However, it is safer to leave enough time and apply at least one to two months in advance.
