Is it difficult to get a tourist visa for New Zealand?

Generally speaking, visas for New Zealand are not difficult.

Visa is a kind of license issued by a government agency for foreigners applying for entry, exit or transit according to the provisions of domestic laws.

The visa is usually attached to the passport or other international travel documents held by the applicant. Under special circumstances, valid passports or other international travel documents can be written on a separate sheet. With the progress of science and technology, some countries began to issue electronic visas and biological visas, which greatly enhanced the anti-counterfeiting function of visas.

Visas in countries around the world are generally divided into entry visas and transit visas, and some countries also have exit visas. Visas in China are divided into entry visas and transit visas.

There are many kinds of visas in different countries. According to the identity of the holder, the type of passport and the reason for the visit, visas are generally divided into four types: diplomatic visas, courtesy visas, official visas and ordinary visas. Some countries classify visas into travel, visit, work, study and residence according to the reasons of visitors.

Visa has different forms and titles in its development. Such as endorsement visa, stamp visa, sticker visa, machine-readable visa, individual visa, group visa and so on.

The purpose of the visa is as follows:

1. If a citizen wants to travel abroad, emigrate or study abroad, get married, etc. In addition to his passport, he must also hold the corresponding visa. Passport is the holder's nationality and identity certificate, and visa is the permission certificate of a sovereign country to allow foreign citizens or their own citizens to enter, exit or transit.

2. Visas are generally endorsed on passports, some on other travel documents, and some are issued separately.

Generally speaking, foreigners are granted different entry visas according to the identity of the applicant and the purpose of entry, such as visas for traveling, visiting relatives, emigrating, studying abroad and working, and the residence time after entry is limited. Due to the different types of visas, the relevant materials needed are also different. Generally, short-term residence applications have fewer restrictions and shorter waiting time for approval.

For the purpose of job hunting and long-term residence, it has become a common practice in all countries to apply for more restrictions and wait for a long time. A country has no obligation to allow foreigners to enter the country unconditionally (unless there is a treaty), and a foreigner has no right to ask a government to allow him to enter the country. The entry of foreigners is conditional.
