New Zealand eTA for Brunei Citizens

Brunei is a visa-waiver country for New Zealand. Brunei citizens do not need a traditional visa for short visits — but you must obtain a New Zealand Electronic Travel Authority (NZeTA) before departure. The NZeTA applies to tourism, business, and transit travel and is mandatory since October 2019.

Apply entirely online in under 20 minutes. Your approved NZeTA for Brunei is delivered by email and electronically linked to your passport — no printout required.

Fill in your full name, Brunei passport details, date of birth, contact information, and travel itinerary. The form is straightforward and takes approximately 15–20 minutes.

Step 2: Answer Health & Character Questions

Respond accurately to all health and character assessment questions. Providing false information can lead to denial of your NZeTA or cancellation of an approved one.

Step 3: Pay the Application Fee

Pay the NZeTA service fee and the International Visitor Conservation and Tourism Levy (IVL) securely by credit or debit card. Review all details — payments are non-refundable.

Step 4: Receive NZeTA by Email
