Do Indonesia passport holders need a visa to visit New Zealand?

Indonesian ordinary passport holders need a Visitor Visa to enter New Zealand for tourism. Indonesia is not on New Zealand's visa waiver list, so the NZeTA pathway is not available; you must apply online for a Visitor Visa before you travel. New Zealand requires Indonesian ordinary passport holders to obtain a Visitor Visa before travelling for tourism. Indonesia is not among the roughly 60 visa waiver countries and territories listed by Immigration New Zealand (INZ), which means Indonesians cannot use the cheaper, faster NZeTA used by waiver-country and most-other-nationality travellers. The Visitor Visa is applied for online through the INZ website. The current cost is from NZD $441, which combines a NZD $300 application fee, a NZD $41 immigration levy, and the NZD $100 International Visitor Conservation and Tourism Levy (IVL, tripled from NZD $35 on 1 October 2024). INZ aims to process 80% of visitor visa applications within about 2 weeks, though it can take longer in peak periods. The visa typically allows a stay of up to 6 months (multiple-entry) or up to 9 months within an 18-month period for single longer stays, and you cannot work but may study for up to 3 months. Applicants must show a valid passport, evidence of sufficient funds, onward/return travel, and proof of intent to leave New Zealand. Verified against official INZ sources as of 30 May 2026.
