In spring and winter, you can see that the top of the mountain is covered with snow, golden in summer and autumn, and stars twinkle at night. If you want to travel to New Zealand, you need to apply for a personal travel visa. Let's see how to apply
1. Application process

While waiting for a New Zealand Visa, there may be telephone surveys or requests for supplementary information (generally no more than 25 calendar days according to the low and peak seasons and information);

Review the information immediately after getting it, and give feedback in time if there are problems. Happy trip as planned.

Original of old passport and copy of previous visa
The normal processing time of tourist visa is 3 weeks. However, if the consulate has any questions about the information provided, the consulate will request supplementary materials according to the situation, so the processing time of visa is to be determined.
3. Application time
New Zealand Visa itself has no advance time limit. You can advance 1 month or 1 year in advance. However, it is generally safer to advance three months. The New Zealand visa may be valid for one year, single / multiple round trips, two years, one month and three months. Usually, it is more common for a single time in 3 months and multiple times in 2 years (the embassy will issue it according to the application data). If you apply half a year in advance and give you a single trip of 3 months, you may not be able to cover the travel time you want. So the visa center will remind you of the risk, but they will also accept it.
If you want to send your ticket half a year in advance, please be sure to fill in your actual departure time (not casually), make the corresponding itinerary, and provide air tickets and hotel orders. In this way, if the embassy gives you 3 months and does not cover your actual travel time, you can apply to the embassy. When they see that you have an actual reservation, they will generally revise it for you (there have been several successful cases). But if you fill in the time casually, you won't have such a chance!
In addition, if you decide to go to New Zealand temporarily, it is also highly recommended to send the visa at least 1 month in advance, and at least 1.5-2 months in advance during the peak Spring Festival season. The longest acceptance time has been more than one month. Don't take chances, or you may have to change your ticket or incur more losses in the end.
