New Zealand will stop accepting paper applications for selected visas from October 1. From this date, applications must be submitted through Immigration New Zealand’s (INZ) enhanced Immigration Online system.
Affected visas include visitor visas, business visitor visas, group visitor visas and transit visas, among others.
Paper applications submitted before October will be processed.
New Zealand has progressively moved its visa application and processing system online in recent years and will now phase out paper applications entirely.
