Important Notes

German citizens are visa-waiver travelers but must obtain an NZeTA (New Zealand Electronic Travel Authority) before traveling to New Zealand. The NZeTA is valid for multiple entries over a two-year period, allowing stays of up to 3 months per visit, with a maximum of 6 months in any 12-month period. The cost includes the NZeTA fee (NZD 17) and the International Visitor Conservation and Tourism Levy (IVL) (NZD 35), totaling NZD 52, which is approximately 34 USD (as of late 2023/early 2024, exchange rates may vary). Processing is typically quick, often within 72 hours, but can take longer. It is recommended to apply well in advance of travel.
