New Zealand Visit Visa from Pakistan

New Zealand takes the whole application online, so there is no centre to attend and no appointment to wait for. The file is uploaded and assessed as it stands.

The visitor visa is assessed on genuine intention to return, so ties to Pakistan carry more weight here than the balance in the account.

A visitor visa can be issued for a stay of up to 9 months in an 18 month period on a single entry, or 6 months in any 12 months on a multiple entry.

How we handle your New Zealand application

1. Tell us the trip. Dates, travellers and purpose, on the web or on WhatsApp in Urdu or English.
2. Upload your documents. We read your passport automatically and tell you what is missing.
3. File prepared. Forms completed, cover letter and day-by-day itinerary drafted, documents ordered the way Immigration New Zealand, online expects them.
4. Case officer review. Every field and every document, checked before anything is submitted.
5. Appointment tracked. We watch Immigration New Zealand, online availability and message you the moment a date opens.

Documents you need

• Valid Pakistani passport with at least 6 months validity
• Two recent passport photographs
• Confirmed return flight reservation
• Hotel booking for the full stay
• Bank statement for the last 6 months, stamped by the branch
• Employment NOC or business registration
• Copy of CNIC, front and back

What it costs

• VisaDIY service fee: PKR 30,000. Application completed, documents checked, cover letter and itinerary drafted, appointment tracked, WhatsApp updates.
• Government fee: NZ$541 (about PKR 88,400). NZ$541, converted at the consular rate on the day you pay. The visa fee and the NZD 100 levy are both charged per person, children included.

Total via VisaDIY: PKR 118,400 per applicant. We do not mark up government or centre charges.

How long it takes

Decisions typically take 80% within 2 weeks, stretching to longer over the December to February season in peak season. That clock starts at your appointment, not when you decide to apply, so the queue is usually the longer half of the timeline. Start at least 6 weeks before you intend to travel.

Why New Zealand applications get refused

• Not satisfied you will leave. The single most common ground. Employment, property and family ties have to be evidenced, not asserted.
• Funds not clearly available. A balance that appears shortly before applying, with no history behind it.
• Sponsor undertaking incomplete. A New Zealand based sponsor has to complete the sponsorship form properly.
• Health or character requirements. Medical certificates or police certificates missing where the length of stay requires them.
