NZ Visa Advice

Requirements for International Visitors entering New Zealand

All overseas visitors are required to have a valid passport and, with the exception of delegates from visa-free countries (please see below), are required to have the appropriate visa – typically either a visitor’s visa or a visiting academics visa. For information on obtaining a visa, including necessary funds and health requirements, please visit: http://www.immigration.govt.nz/migrant/stream/visit/visitors/

We suggest that you allow for a minimum of 6 weeks to have your visa processed by Immigration New Zealand or the applicable New Zealand embassy or consulate in your country of residence.

Letters of Invitation

If you require a letter of invitation in order to secure a visitor visa, this can be requested as part of the on-line registration form for ANZCC 2019. The letter will be sent to you by email in PDF format within 5 working days of your completed registration. All fees must be paid before the invitation can be issued.
