What are the procedures for applying for a New Zealand visa?

Before going to New Zealand, you need to prepare a valid passport and visa. The Chinese mainland offices of Immigration New Zealand (Beijing, Shanghai and Hongkong offices) accept applications for New Zealand visas from China citizens. If in doubt, please contact for consultation. Immigration New Zealand recommends that applications be submitted at least 20 days before the departure date. The three situations of visa application are summarized as follows for reference only:
