New Zealand visa application procedures 1. Information needed for visa preparation.
Time: 1-2 weeks, depending on the individual.
2. There are three ways to submit application materials: online submission, post submission and in person at the visa center.
Time: half a day-1 day
3. New Zealand visa review, during which a telephone survey may be conducted or additional information may be needed.
Time-consuming: 5-25 working days, generally about 5- 10 working days, and more people get visas.
4. Apply for a visa, sign it electronically (download it yourself online), return your passport by courier, or inform yourself to pick it up at the visa center.
The visa allows multiple round trips, up to 5 years, and each stay is 3 months; But there are also more than 2 years, 1 year, and stay 1 month; If the passport is not valid enough, only give it one day before the passport expires.
You can't apply for the validity period yourself, and the visa officer will judge according to the information you submit. The more fully prepared the information, the better the personal/family situation, and the easier it is to obtain it for a long time.
5. Review the information immediately, and give feedback in time if there are any problems. Travel happily as planned.
How early is the New Zealand visa? There is no time limit for applying for a New Zealand visa, and it can be 1 year in advance. However, it is generally safer to advance three months. New Zealand visas can go back and forth multiple times, up to five years, and stay for three months at a time, but there are other possibilities, such as a three-month single visit. If you apply half a year in advance and give you a three-month trip, it may not cover the travel time you want. So the visa center will remind you of the risks in advance, but they will also accept them.
If you want to issue a visa six months in advance, please fill in your actual departure time (not casually), make corresponding travel itinerary, and provide air tickets and hotel orders. In this way, if the embassy gives you a three-month trip that does not cover your actual travel time, you can apply to the embassy. When they see that you have an actual reservation, they will usually help you revise it (there have been several successful cases). But if you fill in the time casually, there will be no such opportunity!
In addition, if you decide to go to New Zealand temporarily, it is strongly recommended to send the visa at least 1.5 months in advance. According to official data: the offline application mode is 25 working days; The online application mode takes 20 working days, and it is recommended to submit the visa application materials at least 1.5 months before the travel date. Don't take any chances, or you may end up changing your visa or causing more losses.

Disadvantages: need to print/copy, express delivery takes time.
