Do i need visa from tonga to new zealand

As a general rule, citizens of Tonga do not need a visa to enter New Zealand for tourism or business stays up to 90 days. However, there are some requirements and considerations to keep in mind:

  1. Electronic Travel Authority (ETA): As a Tongan citizen, you may be eligible for an ETA, which is an electronic authorization that allows you to enter New Zealand. You can apply for an ETA online through the New Zealand Government's website or through a travel agent.
  2. Visa requirements: If you plan to stay in New Zealand for more than 90 days, work, study, or engage in other activities that require a visa, you will need to apply for a visa at a New Zealand embassy or consulate before your trip.
  3. Travel documents: Make sure your passport is valid for at least three months beyond your intended stay in New Zealand. You may also need to provide proof of onward travel, such as a return ticket or a reservation for onward travel.
  4. Health and character requirements: New Zealand has specific health and character requirements for visitors. You may need to provide proof of vaccination against certain diseases, such as measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR).
  5. Customs and immigration: When arriving in New Zealand, you will need to declare all goods you are bringing with you, including gifts, souvenirs, and personal effects. You may also need to provide biometric data, such as fingerprints, as part of the customs and immigration process.

To confirm your specific requirements, I recommend checking the official government websites:
