Transferring your eVisa or visa label to a new passport

If you have a new passport (because your old passport expired, was lost, stolen, damaged or your name has changed), you will need to transfer your visa into your new passport so you can continue to travel to and from New Zealand. This applies regardless of whether you had an eVisa or a visa label in your old passport.

If you are transferring your eVisa to your new passport or had a visa label in your old passport and you would like an eVisa in your new passport, there is no fee. If you still require a visa label in your new passport, a fee applies.

eVisas

eVisas are issued for all visas. Instead of receiving a visa label in your passport you will get an eVisa letter containing your visa details. Visa labels are no longer required. Your eVisa can be checked electronically by airlines, employers, education providers and other New Zealand Government agencies.

Applying for the balance of your visa

If your temporary visa was granted for a shorter length than requested because your passport was about to expire, you can apply for the balance of the visa to be transferred to your new passport.

Confirming your New Zealand immigration status

If you were granted a residence permit under the Immigration Act 1987 or Immigration Act 1964 you can apply for confirmation of your residence status. A fee applies.

If you arrived before 2 April 1974 and you no longer have your original passport you will need to provide evidence that you have lived in either New Zealand or Australia continuously since 2 April 1974.

Australian citizen or Australian permanent resident

If you are an Australian citizen or permanent resident currently living in New Zealand and you require evidence of your visa status, you can apply to get an eVisa or have a visa label placed in your passport showing your visa status.

Please note that if you travel outside New Zealand, your resident visa will expire and your eVisa or visa label will become invalid. If you return and you still require evidence of your visa status, you would be required to get a new eVisa or visa label in your passport.

If you do not want your visa to expire when you leave New Zealand, you should instead apply for a ‘variation of travel conditions’ by completing the INZ 1175 – Application from a Resident or Former Resident Visa Holder form.

Requesting a visa label

If you have received an eVisa and require a visa label in your passport. A fee applies.
