Where and how to apply

Official source checked
  • Apply online. INZ says new applications for most visitor visas can only be made in the enhanced Immigration Online from 24 September 2026; old drafts closed on 8 October 2026.
  • The INZ list of offices outside New Zealand does not show a Visa Application Centre in Bangladesh. Where a VAC is used, an appointment is required through VFS Global.

Fees

Official source checked
  • The Visitor Visa page says fees start from NZD 441. The page does not show the Bangladesh-specific fee, so use INZ's Fees, decision times and where to apply tool or ask us.
  • Most international visitors also pay the NZD 100 International Visitor Levy with the application. It is not refunded if the visa is declined.

Processing time

Official source checked
  • INZ says 80% of visitor visa applications are processed within 2 weeks. Apply early if you travel between September and March.

Document checklist

Documents change by visa type and profile. Our counsellor confirms your exact list.

Documents for every applicant

Official source checked
  • Passport valid at least 3 months after your planned departure, with translations for any document not in English.
  • Evidence of funds: NZD 1,000 per month, or NZD 400 per month if accommodation is already paid, shown through bank or credit card statements in your name. Do not send cash. A sponsor can use form INZ 1025 instead.
  • Onward travel evidence, such as a ticket or written confirmation of booked and paid travel to a country you can enter.
  • Proof of genuine reasons to visit and plans to leave at the end of the stay.

Health and character

Official source checked
  • Stays under 6 months generally need no medical certificate. Stays of 6 to 12 months may need a chest X-ray certificate, and over 12 months need medical and chest X-ray certificates. Certificates must be under 3 months old.
  • Police certificates may be needed if you plan to stay 24 months or longer, from your country of citizenship and any country you lived in for 5 years or more since age 17.

Things to watch

  • The pages we read do not name Bangladesh. Confirm the fee and any extra requirements for Bangladeshi applicants in the INZ fees tool before quoting.
  • Visitors cannot work in New Zealand. The decision is made by Immigration New Zealand and approval is never guaranteed.
