How long does it take to apply for a New Zealand tourist visa?

1. Immigration New Zealand will regularly update the statistics of visa processing cycles in the past period. According to the latest statistics, 94% applications for visiting visas (personal travel, visiting relatives and business) are processed within 25 natural days; 100% of applications are processed within 30 days;

2. According to the statistical data of the intermediary (Zhengzhou Yuancheng Company) in recent five years, if the materials are complete (that is, no supplementary materials are needed), accurate and true, there is no doubt that the results will be produced in two weeks.

3. In extreme cases, that is, the applicant has been to New Zealand several times before, and the entry and exit record is good, and the work sunrise result is the fastest; If the applicant has been refused a visa before or the situation is complicated, it usually takes three or four weeks, but up to now, all the trials have been completed within one natural month;

4. Under normal circumstances, the Immigration Bureau will not issue visa results on Thursday or Friday; Even if the results come out at this time, they will not be able to send them to the visa application center until Monday, because this is because of the safety of the applicant's passport and other materials (if the post office posts them on weekends, if it is an office, I am afraid that they will not be delivered, and I am afraid that the applicant's passport and other materials will be lost). Therefore, if there is no result three working days before a week, it is unlikely that there will be a result on Thursday or Friday.

5. Occasionally, the Immigration Bureau may have issued a visa result, but did not print a visa sticker; Or not sent to the visa application center;

6. You can check the application progress through the website of the visa application center; If the results have come out, it will show that the Shanghai office of Immigration New Zealand has sent your application to the visa application center for processing. That's why you can't see the visa application results until you get your passport.

The above statistical data and related information can be verified and confirmed by the relevant information under the project processing time or service standard on the official website of Immigration New Zealand (English).
