Overview

Nepali citizens require a Visitor Visa to travel to New Zealand for tourism. Applications are submitted online at immigration.govt.nz, with biometrics submitted at VFS Global Kathmandu. The total cost is approximately NZD 480–540 (application fee NZD ~300 + NZD 41 border levy + NZD 100 International Visitor Conservation and Tourism Levy / IVL). Processing typically takes 20–25 working days. New Zealand assesses "genuine intent to leave" strictly and requires evidence of strong ties to Nepal.
