Visa-free: visa-waiver nationalities incl. Emirati citizens (NZeTA) — eligibility is decided by your passport, not by UAE residence.

- Official forms completed — on the government portal or system, with data matching your passport exactly.
- Appointment or submission handled — booked at the correct centre or mission for your emirate where an appointment is required.
- Document check against the New Zealand checklist — residence validity, photos, bank statements and employment proof reviewed before submission.
- Tracked until issued — we follow the file and send you the e-Visa or tell you when the passport is ready.
