Just apply for a "General Visit Visa". New Zealand's "General Visitor Visa" is used for sightseeing in New Zealand, visiting relatives and friends, or short-term study tours.

The required materials for the "General Visit Visa" are listed together on the New Zealand Immigration Service website. For sightseeing tours, the required materials are listed as follows:

Required for sightseeing tours List of materials:

Supporting materials that need to be submitted according to the circumstances of each case: traveling as a couple - marriage certificate; traveling with children - leave approval letter from the child’s school; applicant’s body Operators or corporate shareholders need to provide additional relevant supporting materials (omitted here, see the official website)

Continue to supplement the materials: air ticket orders, hotel orders, itinerary schedules, these are not required. For extra points. If you feel that the materials you have prepared, such as proof of funds, are not sufficient, you can choose to provide them as submission materials. Especially for single girls traveling alone, they will be asked more about accommodation, travel, and itinerary in the ESC.

Considering the materials, submitting the materials is nothing more than proving to the Immigration Bureau

1. Ability to complete the trip; - Proof of funds is a must

2 . There is no tendency to immigrate and will not stay in the country without returning. If you have a good job and a stable job, this will give you extra points and convince the visa officer that you are living a good life in China and will return to your country to continue working and living after your trip.

1. About filling in the form:

*? Official website download of Forms 1017 and 1027

*? 2 forms (Forms 1017 and 1027), ordinary PDF Just print it out and write it by hand. There are enthusiastic friends on the Internet who have made a fillable PDF. Can be downloaded. You can also print it after filling it out on the electronic form. However, Form 1017 has been updated to the April 2011 version. The processed forms also need to be followed up and updated. (Waiting for the update, please write it by hand before it is updated)

*? If you are traveling as a couple or family, it can be used as a visa application case.

If there are several people, you must fill in several copies. Other materials are also prepared by each person and handed in together.

2. About the proof of funds

For sightseeing in New Zealand, the proof of funds actually only needs to meet the "expenses required during the visit to New Zealand". Regarding the specific amount, the official website also writes: "Proof that the applicant has sufficient funds to afford food, accommodation and living in New Zealand, at least 1,000 New Zealand dollars per person per month or the equivalent in other currencies. If food and accommodation are guaranteed, each person At least 400 New Zealand dollars per month or the equivalent in other currencies.”

If you are visiting relatives and friends, food and accommodation are guaranteed, and less proof of funds is required. In other words, it only costs RMB 5,200 per person per month! Therefore, in terms of proving funds, there will be no obstacles at all for traveling to New Zealand.

Of course, generally speaking, the greater the amount of funds and various assets, the more advantageous it will be, and the more it can prove that you have the financial ability to pay for the entire trip and return to your country. However, it is still necessary to submit relevant documents proving funds based on each person’s actual situation.

Proof of funds: either a or b

a. Proof of deposit: Go to the bank to freeze and issue a certificate of deposit. (After the visa is issued, the original frozen deposit certificate will be returned to the applicant, and the funds can be unfrozen at any time.)

b. Passbook, bank card (salary card/passbook) slip (print at least 3 More than 3 months, display history)

Both a or b can be used as proof of funds, which means that it is not necessary to freeze the deposit, and hand in the passbook or the salary passbook for more than 3 months, bank (salary) Card details are also available, as long as they show account history.

In addition, you can also provide: real estate certificate, car certificate, stock funds, credit card statements, etc. as proof of funds. None are required.

As for the amount of funds, how much proof should be provided:

If you are traveling alone, including a single MM, it is enough to provide proof of deposit of 1W-2W. If you are a couple, probably 3W-5W is actually enough. Of course, the more funds you can prove, the more advantageous it is generally. It can be done according to personal circumstances. Real estate certificates, car certificates, etc., as long as you have them, you can hand them in as materials for signing.

3. About the leave permission letter

Fake leave permission letter from the company: Some companies have their own templates, just fill it out and stamp it. If not, write it yourself. Chinese letters require an English translation. (Speaking of the official seal, the Industrial and Commercial Bureau has it on file and can be checked)

Children’s leave approval letter: If the child is a school-age child, whether during the normal winter or summer vacation, a leave approval letter from the school is required. It must be issued on school letterhead and stamped. If the letter is in Chinese, you also need to attach an English translation. You can translate it yourself. Some schools may also have their own special templates, so it's best to ask in advance. If not, just write one yourself.

4. About material translation and notarization

Translation:

The official website requires that "all Chinese materials must have English translations." Regarding translation, you can download the translation Template, slightly modified, you can translate it yourself.

Translation templates: ID card, household register, driver's license, real estate certificate, and leave certificate.

As for the statement that a translation company is required to translate and stamp the document, it is true that some travel friends are required to find a professional translation company to translate and stamp the document when submitting their signature. But many travel friends translate everything by themselves. No problem. In fact, there is no such requirement on the official website, it only says that an English translation is required.

If by any chance the materials are returned, go find a translation company to have them translated. This probability is relatively small, let’s consider it an RP problem.

Notarization:

About notarization of kinship

If couples or families are traveling together, proof of kinship is required. Household registers, marriage certificates, child birth certificates, etc. can all be used to prove relatives. If the originals cannot be provided, in theory, notarized copies are required (should be used to verify the authenticity of the materials)

If you send the visa by yourself, the copy does not need to be notarized. Bring the original and the copy to the person who collects the visa materials. The original may be returned on the spot, and only the copy will be accepted. You can only submit a copy. It is not too late to submit the original if asked.

In fact, many travel friends send the visa by courier or send the signature by themselves. All the copies are given and signed without notarization.
