New Zealand eTA for Brazilian Citizens
Brazilian citizens planning to visit New Zealand must obtain a New Zealand Electronic Travel Authority (NZeTA) before departure. The NZeTA is mandatory for all eligible travellers and must be secured before you board your flight or cruise ship. Without an approved NZeTA, you will be denied boarding.
The NZeTA for Brazil is linked electronically to your passport — no embassy visit, no physical document, no queue. The entire application takes under 20 minutes online, with approvals emailed within 24–72 hours.
What is the NZeTA for Brazil?
The New Zealand Electronic Travel Authority (NZeTA) is a mandatory pre-travel authorisation for eligible travellers visiting New Zealand for tourism, business, or transit. It is not a traditional visa — no embassy visit or paper application is required.
Once approved, the NZeTA is electronically linked to your Brazilian passport and is valid for 2 years from the grant date, allowing multiple entries with each stay of up to 90 days. Brazilian travellers must also pay the International Visitor Conservation and Tourism Levy (IVL) as part of the application. Visit our Visa Fees page for current pricing.

The NZeTA for Brazil is valid for 2 years from the grant date, or until your Brazilian passport expires — whichever comes first. Multiple entries are permitted within this period.
Stay Duration
Each visit to New Zealand is limited to a maximum of 90 days. If you need to stay longer or wish to work, a separate New Zealand visa is required.

If you renew your Brazilian passport after receiving your NZeTA, you must apply for a new NZeTA linked to your new passport. The NZeTA cannot be transferred between passports.
Important for Brazilian Travellers
Flights from Brazil to New Zealand typically connect via cities like Dubai, Los Angeles, Sydney, or Singapore, with total travel time of approximately 24–30 hours. Apply for your NZeTA from Brazil well in advance of your travel date. All personal information submitted must exactly match your Brazilian passport — discrepancies can cause delays or denial at the border.
