Understanding New Zealand’s Group Visitor Visa Requirements
Are you organising a group trip to New Zealand? The Group Visitor Visa allows a designated leader to manage visas and travel plans for everyone, making the process seamless and stress-free.
To qualify for a Group Visitor Visa, all group members must enter and exit New Zealand together. The group leader must submit a “Group Visa Application,” while each member completes an individual “Visitor Visa Application.” Proof of onward travel is required unless exempt, and the group must be financially self-sufficient, with the option of sponsorship if needed.
Sponsors for a Group Visitor Visa must ensure visitors have essentials like healthcare, clothing, and food, along with accommodation arrangements. Sponsors are also responsible for return travel costs if needed. In cases of deportation, the sponsor covers all related expenses, including detention and transportation.
Eligible sponsors include government agencies, charities, registered companies, educational institutions, and New Zealand citizens/residents. Sponsors must:
- Link their activities to the group’s visit purpose.
- Not accept fees or financial rewards for sponsorship.
- Have a clean record with no immigration-related offences.
- Not have previously breached visa sponsorship terms.
- Appoint a responsible contact person.
- Be free from bankruptcy or insolvency.
