New Zealand
New Zealand is a faraway land unlike any other place you have traveled. This country of 5 million people in the southwest Pacific Ocean is so unique that is has been the setting for many fantasy movies requiring wondrous and dream-like filming locations such as “King Kong” and “Lord of the Rings”. New Zealand is a magical country with unending natural beauty that contains miles of rugged coastline and dramatic cliffs, waterfalls and rainforests, glaciers and fjords, volcanoes and naturally-heated thermal pools—everywhere you go there is a jaw-dropping view.
With so much breathtaking landscape to explore, visitors to New Zealand have infinite options for enjoying outdoor activities. There are thousands of miles of hiking and bicycle trails throughout the country’s 13 national parks. For more adventurous types, there is climbing, rappelling, caving, skydiving, off-road driving, skiing and snowboarding. New Zealand is a water sports mecca for those interested in sailing, surfing, diving, fishing, and rafting. Others may enjoy a bit of local food and wine while taking in the views from a train or hot air balloon. Whatever your style, this magnificent country has plenty to offer, and Visa Supply can help you get there.
Why Choose Visa Supply?
The United States is designated a “visa waiver country” by the New Zealand government so Americans are only required to obtain the NZeTA. This is an electronic approval issued by the New Zealand government that is very easy to secure, but you may want the help of Visa Supply to make sure it gets done correctly. For those individuals carrying a passport that is not from a visa waiver country, we have plenty of experience obtaining New Zealand visas and are ready to help you!
