New Zealand Visa for Canadian citizens (2026)

Can Canadian citizens get a New Zealand eVisa?

New Zealand grants online eligibility to Canadian citizens across 2 visa options such as Business Evisa (Multiple Entries for 2 years), Transit Evisa (Multiple Entries for 2 years). New Zealand currently supports Multiple Entries, with a permitted stay of 730 days. Government fees start at US$90.00. Standard processing is typically 3 working days, with faster options around 1 working day.

Documents and tips for Canadian travellers

Canadian passports come in 5- and 10-year versions; whichever you hold, verify it meets the destination’s minimum validity beyond your planned departure. Charges are usually in US dollars, so Canadian applicants should expect a minor CAD-to-USD conversion on their card statement. The most common avoidable mistake for Canadian citizens: applying with an expiring passport: renew first if your Canadian passport is within a few months of expiry, or the eVisa may be tied to a document you can no longer use.

• Match your application to the names and passport number on your current Canadian passport.
• Dual Canadian citizens should apply on the passport they will physically travel on to avoid mismatches at the border.
• Save the approval to your phone — Canadian travellers are often asked for it when connecting through a third country.
