Frequently Asked Questions

I have received a multiple-entry New Zealand visa. What does that mean?
A multiple-entry visa allows multiple entries within the visa’s validity period, typically with restrictions on the length of each stay.
For example, if you have a New Zealand visa with a validity period from January 1, 2024, to December 31, 2024, you can enter and exit New Zealand multiple times within this period as long as each stay does not exceed the given length of stay (here, 180 days).
