What are the NZeTA & IVL?

The NZeTA is a border security measure introduced by the New Zealand Government on 1 October 2019.

To find out more, visit the Immigration New Zealand website. https://www.immigration.govt.nz/nzeta

Most visitors coming to New Zealand must pay an International Visitor Conservation and Tourism Levy (IVL). The IVL is a way for you to contribute directly to the tourism infrastructure you use and help protect the natural environment you enjoy during your stay in New Zealand. For more information on the IVL, visit this website https://www.mbie.govt.nz/immigration-and-tourism/tourism/tourism-funding/international-visitor-conservation-and-tourism-levy/.

I don't get all the hate from others with this app. Honestly, it worked flawlessly. The passport scan was quick and accurate. The UI very well done. My only complains are 1) no option to upload photo instead of taking picture, as the website version allows, and 2) no final fee overview before paying. I also had to check what ivl fee was because I couldn't understand the high amount paid at the end. More transparency and explanation would be good.

This was Quick and Easy! Thank you NZeTA. I had no trouble using your app. The whole process took me 15 minutes. I’m sorry others are having such difficulty. Based on my pleasant experience with this app, I can hardly wait to experience New Zealand.

Giant waste of my time. Scan 2 passports, take pictures, try to pay small fee and added outrageous "green" fees for a one night stay--- only to have it fail at payment stage. Fail repeatedly. Then it deleted all info, and guess I have to start all over. Good luck with this useless app.
