Applicants for a visitor visa must have either: 
  
Funds of at least NZ$1000 per month for maintenance and accommodation, or NZ$400 per month if the accommodation has been prepaid; or 
  
Sponsorship by a person, an organisation or a Government agency which meets generic sponsorship requirements 
  
<h3>
	Visitors to New Zealand</h3>
  
You will need to apply for a visitor visa before you come to New Zealand if you are not from a visa-waiver country, 
Requirements 
When you apply for a visitor visa, we need to know that: 
<ul>
	<li>
		you are in good health</li>
	<li>
		you are of good character, and</li>
	<li>
		A visitor visa fits your purpose for coming to New Zealand.</li>
</ul>
Your passport 
You will need to provide your passport with your application. The passport must be valid for at least three months past the date you are to leave New Zealand, or one month past the date you intend to leave if the government issuing your passport has consular representation in New Zealand. 
Proof that you plan to leave New Zealand 
You will need to show us that you intend to leave within the period of your visa. For example: 
<ul>
	<li>
		travel tickets (confirmed or open-dated) out of New Zealand to a country which you have the right to enter; or</li>
	<li>
		written confirmation from an airline or travel agency that onward travel has been booked and paid for; or</li>
	<li>
		Evidence of sufficient funds to purchase a ticket to a country which you have the right of entry.</li>
</ul>
Any non-refundable travel arrangements are made at your own risk as the outcome of your application cannot be guaranteed. 
  
<h3>
	What a visitor visa allows</h3>
  
A visitor visa allows you to stay in New Zealand as a visitor for a limited amount of time. It allows you to: 
• Visit as a tourist 
• Visit friends or relatives 
• Play sport or perform in cultural events without pay 
• Enter New Zealand to get married 
• Undertake short-term study. 
A visitor visa allows you to study one or more courses of up to a total of three months in each of the 12-month periods your visa is valid. 
  
How long can you visit for? 
  
Unless otherwise stated under special instructions, visitors to New Zealand are limited to a maximum stay of nine months on a visitor visa. 
  
However, we may allow you to stay a further three months if you have financially supported yourself and you have not worked, studied, or been sponsored during your stay. 
  
If you have recently visited New Zealand and you wish to visit again, you should be aware that the instructions allow a visitor to stay a total of no more than nine months in an 18-month period. The 18-month period is calculated backwards from the last day you intend to be in New Zealand. For example, if you want to stay until 1 December 2012, you should count back 18 months, which will be 1 June 2010. 
However, if you have spent a total of 12 months in New Zealand as a visitor, you will have to remain outside New Zealand for 12 months before a further application for a visitor visa may be approved. 
  
Medical insurance 
We recommend that you have comprehensive medical insurance for the duration of your visit. If you are from the United Kingdom or Australia, you will get the same immediate medical coverage as a New Zealand citizen or resident, thanks to our Reciprocal Health Agreements. 
During your stay 
If you are granted a visitor visa you need to meet certain conditions during your stay. 
<ul>
	<li>
		You may not work while you are in New Zealand (unless you are granted a work visa).</li>
	<li>
		You may not study for more than three months while you are in New Zealand (unless you are granted a student visa).</li>
	<li>
		You must keep within New Zealand’s laws.</li>
	<li>
		You must only stay in New Zealand for the time allowed by your visa.</li>
</ul>
  
<h3>
	Sponsor’s responsibilities</h3>

	  
	When you agree to be a sponsor, you undertake and agree to: 
	  
	• Make sure the sponsored person has financial support for the duration of their stay (maintenance costs like food, clothing and health care – things necessary for their health and welfare while in New Zealand), and 
	  
	• Make sure the sponsored person has suitable accommodation for the duration of their stay (whether providing it directly or paying for it), and 
	  
	• Guarantee to provide the cost of return airfare for the sponsored person, if they do not have the means to pay themselves (or refuse to pay for it), and 
	  
	• Guarantee to provide the costs associated with the sponsored person’s deportation if they are deported (costs like locating, detaining and maintaining the person, as well as travel costs), and 
	  
	• (Optional undertaking) guarantee to provide the cost of maternity health services in New Zealand if the sponsored person is pregnant and intending to give birth in New Zealand. 
	  
	When you agree to be a sponsor, you are responsible for the sponsored person from the day they arrive in New Zealand until the day they get a new visa with a different sponsor or no sponsor, or the day they leave, whether they are on a valid visa or in New Zealand unlawfully. 
	  
	You cannot withdraw your sponsorship. 
	  
	If you sponsor a multiple entry visa, you are responsible every time they are in New Zealand with that sponsored visa. 
	  
	What happens if you do not honour your sponsorship? 
	  
	If you fail to carry out the responsibilities listed above, and the sponsored person incurs costs to the New Zealand Government or a third party to cover any part of their maintenance, accommodation or return travel (or deportation), you will be responsible for repaying those costs. 
	  
	If you fail to repay the costs incurred by the sponsored person, a debt for the amount of those costs will then be due to the New Zealand Government or the third party. 
	  
	This debt may be enforced against you in the New Zealand courts. This debt remains your responsibility until it is repaid, even if the sponsored person is no longer in New Zealand, is in New Zealand unlawfully, or has a new visa. 
	  
	If you breach your sponsorship undertakings (whether there is a debt or not), you may not be able to sponsor again in the future. 
	  
	  
	Becoming a resident  
	 
	You can apply for a residence class visa in New Zealand while here on a visitor visa. In some cases we may extend the term of your visa while we consider your residence application. 
	 
<ul>
	<li>
		Family– you may be eligible if you‘re in a genuine and stable relationship with a New Zealand citizen or resident, or you have immediate family who can sponsor you.</li>
</ul>
  
  
Chinese Nationals 
Chinese law does not permit nationals of the People's Republic of China to hold dual nationality. Before applying for New Zealand citizenship, Chinese nationals should be aware of their obligations under the Nationality Law of China.
