Collecting information for visas or New Zealand Electronic Travel Authority (NZeTA) requests

When you apply for a visa or request an NZeTA, INZ collects the information you provide to determine:

your identity
your eligibility to apply for and get a visa, including whether you can apply for a visa online
whether you are eligible for an NZeTA.

The collection of your information is authorised by the Immigration Act 2009 (the Act) and the Immigration Regulations under the Act.

If you do not supply mandatory information for any visa application or NZeTA request, we may not accept it.

Some information is voluntary and helps with processing your visa or NZeTA request.

If you have agreed to act as a sponsor, or are supporting your partner to apply for a visa, INZ collects your personal information to determine if you meet the criteria to support a visa applicant.
