New Zealand offers a perfect amalgamation of tourism, medical facilities, job prospects and educational opportunities at one place. Every year plenty of tourists visit New Zealand for their individual purposes. Tourist Visa forms one of the most demanded visas for people migrating to the Land of Kiwis from all over the world. Here are some of the aspects that you need to keep in mind before filing for a Tourist Visa (temporary visit) for New Zealand:

• It is essential to have a passport with a minimum validity of 3 months.
• Your intention to stay in NZ on a temporary basis should convince the Immigration officer; otherwise your chances to visit this beautiful land may disappear.
• You must have ample bank balance in order to support your expenses in the country. If you are staying on an independent basis, you would need $1000, whereas the amount reduces to $400 per month, if you are staying with any relative or friend.
• You must show proof of good health.
• In addition, the applicant is required to show documents supporting his good character (you may be asked to show the police record).

You will not need a Tourist Visa if you:

• If you hold a New Zealand Residence Permit or are a citizen of NZ.
• If the applicant holds Australian Residency.
• If you belong to a country that has a “Visa Waiver Agreement” with the land of Kiwis and you are intending to visit the place for not more than 3 months.
• An applicant having a British passport (may be a British Citizen)
