WHO WE CAN HELP

Who this service is for

This service may be suitable for:

  • Philippine passport holders planning a New Zealand holiday
  • Standard tourist visits of up to 59 days
  • Travelers wanting help organizing documents and encoding their own application answers
  • Families needing administrative support for their applications

Requirements may vary depending on your personal circumstances, travel history, sponsor, and requested visa type.

PREPARE YOUR FILE

General Requirements

Use the current INZ checklist, the online application and any individual requests. The examples below help you get organized; the documents required depend on your application.

Passport and photo

  • Clear passport identity-page scan and a recent photo meeting INZ specifications.
  • Relevant travel-history pages or previous visas when requested. INZ normally requires passport validity for at least three months after your planned departure from New Zealand.

Your planned visit

  • Your intended dates, accommodation and travel itinerary.
  • Evidence that you can leave New Zealand, such as onward travel or funds to purchase it. Avoid non-refundable bookings before approval.

Funds and sponsorship

  • INZ lists at least NZ$1,000 per month, or NZ$400 per month if accommodation is already paid, unless you have an acceptable sponsor.
  • Provide the financial or sponsor evidence requested in your online application. These are living-cost requirements, not a guarantee of approval.

Supporting documents

  • Employment, business, study, family or other evidence requested by INZ for your application.
  • Include English translations of supporting documents that are not in English. Medicals or police certificates may be requested.

Provide truthful information and genuine supporting documents. Any application reservations are separate from purchased tickets and paid accommodation. Avoid non-refundable travel bookings before approval.

YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES

Requirements by applicant type

Employees and business owners

  • Provide the employment, income or business records requested by INZ.
  • Examples may include employment confirmation, approved leave or business registration and financial records.

Students and retirees

  • Provide requested enrollment, retirement or pension records, where applicable.
  • Include the funding or sponsor information requested in the application.

Sponsored visits

  • Provide the host or sponsor information requested by INZ.
  • Follow the official sponsorship process where it applies. Sponsorship does not guarantee approval.

Families and children

  • Provide the relationship, guardianship and consent documents requested by INZ.
  • Each included traveler pays the IVL unless exempt. Our package is priced per applicant, including children.

GOVERNMENT CHARGES

Visa fee waived. Tourism levy included.

For Philippine citizens applying outside New Zealand for visitor stays not exceeding 59 days, the application fee and immigration levy are waived.

  • The NZ$100 International Visitor Conservation and Tourism Levy (IVL) still applies to standard tourist applicants.
  • The IVL is included in our ₱8,900 package and paid during the online application. You do not pay it again after approval.
  • The IVL is non-refundable once paid, including if the application is refused.

Longer stays and other visa categories need a separate quotation before payment.

OUR SUPPORT

Administrative support, clearly defined

  • We organize your files, check legibility and missing pages, format your own cover-letter statements and encode the answers you supply.
  • Eligibility advice, choosing a visa category, interpreting immigration rules and case strategy require a licensed New Zealand immigration adviser or exempt professional. Those services are outside this package.

FORMS & CHECKLISTS

Official resources and checklists

Use INZ for current requirements, fees and application instructions. Use VFS for passport-handling arrangements when INZ requests them.
