What are IVL and International Visitor Conservation?

The IVL or “International Visitor Conservation and Tourism Levy” is a kind of tourist tax that was introduced at the same time as the NZeTA. This tax is paid by every tourist or working holiday traveler, whether you enter the country on a visa waiver with NZeTA or a real visa.
