1. Procedures and skills for applying for immigration to New Zealand

I. New Zealand immigration application procedures

To apply for a New Zealand tourist visa, no matter which method is adopted, whether it is entrusted or handled directly by yourself, the following procedures are generally required:

(1) Submit a valid passport.

(2) Submit various documents related to the reasons for applying for a New Zealand tourist visa, such as birth certificate, marital status, educational background, work experience, etc.

(3) Fill in and submit the visa application form. Different visas have different forms, most of which should be filled in foreign languages and photos should be submitted at the same time.

(4) Meeting with embassies and consulates in China officials. Some countries stipulate that all immigrant applicants must be interviewed before making a decision; Some countries also require interviews to apply for non-immigrant visas.

(5) The embassy or consulate shall submit the completed visa application form and necessary supporting materials to the domestic competent authorities for examination and approval. The embassies and consulates of a few countries have the right to issue visas directly, but they still have to report to China for the record.

(6) Inform embassies and consulates in China of the examination and approval opinions after going to the national competent department for necessary examination and approval. If you agree, a visa will be issued. If you refuse, you will also inform the applicant.

(7) Pay visa fees. Generally speaking, when submitting a visa application, you must pay the fee first, and some countries only charge the fee when the visa application is successful. Generally speaking, immigrant visa fees are slightly higher and non-immigrant visa fees are slightly lower. There are also some countries and regions that are visa-free.

Second, the key tips

1. The New Zealand Immigration Bureau authorizes the New Zealand visa application centers in Guangzhou, Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong to collect visa applications and visa application fees for short-term entry and immigration categories, and return the passports to the applicants after the visa officers of the New Zealand Immigration Bureau examine the visa applications.

2. The processing period of tourist visas in New Zealand is relatively long, which generally takes 2-4 weeks. Without appointment and interview, the applicant can entrust the New Zealand Visa Center to submit a visa application and get a passport.

3. Applicants for visiting relatives and friends in New Zealand who are not in the consular district where the passport is issued can apply across the consular district, but they need to provide proof that they have worked or lived in the consular district where the visa is to be applied for for for more than half a year.

4. New Zealand tourist visa requirements are strict, and New Zealand visa applicants need to customize and organize real and clear travel purposes and itineraries.

5. New Zealand visa applicants who have been refused a visa can resubmit a new visa application at any time.

6. During the visa application process, the visa office of the New Zealand Embassy may ask the applicant to provide more information or materials.

7. All visa information for visiting relatives and friends in New Zealand must be translated into English.
