New Zealand tourist visa processing procedures and fees

No matter which way you apply for a New Zealand tourist visa, whether you entrust it or apply for it yourself, you generally need to go through the following procedures:

1. Submit a valid passport.

2. Submit various documents related to the reasons for applying for a tourist visa in New Zealand, such as proof of birth, marital status, educational background, work experience, etc.

3. Fill in and submit the visa application form. Different visas have different forms, and most of them should be filled in foreign languages and their photos should be paid at the same time.

4. Meet with the officials of the embassy or consulate of the visiting country in China. Some countries stipulate that all immigrant applicants must be interviewed before making a decision; Some countries also stipulate that an interview is also required to apply for a non-immigrant visa.

5. The embassy or consulate shall submit the completed visa application forms and necessary supporting materials to the competent domestic departments for examination and approval. The embassies and consulates of a few countries have the right to issue visas directly, but they still have to report them to China for the record.

6. After going to the national competent department for necessary audit, notify embassies and consulates in China of the examination and approval opinions. If you agree, a visa will be issued. If you refuse, you will also inform the applicant.

7. Pay the visa fee. Generally speaking, when submitting a visa application, you must pay the fee first, and some countries only charge the fee when the visa application is successful. Generally speaking, immigrant visa fees are slightly higher and non-immigrant visa fees are slightly lower. There are also some countries and regions where visas are free.
