NZeTA and IVL cost calculator

Choose an application channel, traveller category and group size. Get separate NZeTA and IVL amounts in New Zealand dollars.

Inputs
Confirm NZeTA eligibility first. All travellers in this calculation must share the same category. Australian permanent residents need a valid Australian Permanent Resident Visa or Resident Return Visa; the visa must allow return travel to Australia and be linked to the travel passport. Temporary residence does not qualify.
Budget calculator limit: 0–1,000. This does not submit a group application.

This is a general estimate for information only, not tax, legal or financial advice. Real rules have more conditions than a calculator can show, so check the official source below or a qualified professional for your situation.

How it works

INZ charges NZD 17 via its app or NZD 23 via its website. The IVL is NZD 100 where payable, effective 1 October 2024. These defaults are editable.

total = travellers × (application fee + applicable IVL)

Use a separate calculation for each category in a mixed group. The calculator multiplies without intermediate rounding and displays two decimals. Its 1,000-person cap is a software limit, not an application limit.

Worked examples

One visitor, app versus website

With IVL payable, the app costs 17 + 100 = NZD 117.00. The website costs 23 + 100 = NZD 123.00.

Four visitors using the app

4 × (17 + 100) = NZD 468.00: NZD 68.00 in NZeTA fees and NZD 400.00 in IVL.

Two eligible airside transit passengers online

With the Auckland transit IVL exemption, 2 × 23 = NZD 46.00.

Frequently asked questions

Do Australian citizens need an NZeTA?
No. An Australian citizen travelling on an Australian passport has no NZeTA or IVL charge in this calculation. Choose the separate permanent-resident category if applicable.
What do Australian permanent residents pay?
They need an NZeTA but pay no IVL: NZD 17 by app or NZD 23 online at the default fees. Under INZ’s Australian Resident Visa conditions, hold a valid Australian Permanent Resident Visa or Resident Return Visa. The visa must allow return travel to Australia and be linked to the passport used for travel. Australian temporary residents do not qualify for this category.
Who can use the transit exemption?
Eligible transit passengers arriving at and leaving from Auckland International Airport do not pay IVL. Confirm transit eligibility and whether an NZeTA is needed first.
What about Pacific passports and other exemptions?
The IVL page lists additional exemptions. Because the exact passport and visa matter, use the official fee finder linked by INZ. Select “confirmed” only after verifying both the levy exemption and NZeTA requirement.
Does this establish NZeTA eligibility?
No. Visa-waiver nationality is one route; cruise travel and other situations have their own conditions. Use INZ’s eligibility guidance before budgeting.
Can an agent get faster processing?
INZ says third-party sites cannot fast-track NZeTA applications. These totals cover government charges only.
