Japanese passport holders need a NZeTA (New Zealand Electronic Travel Authority) before flying. Apply at nzeta.immigration.govt.nz or through the NZeTA app. The fee is NZD 17 via the app or NZD 23 via the website, plus a mandatory International Visitor Conservation and Tourism Levy (IVL) of NZD 100. Processing takes up to 72 hours but is often approved within minutes. The NZeTA is valid for 2 years with multiple entries, each stay up to 90 days.
Fill out the NZeTA before booking flights since airlines check authorization at check-in. You need a passport valid for at least 3 months beyond your planned departure from New Zealand, a return or onward ticket, and evidence of NZD 1,000 per month of stay (or NZD 400 per month if accommodation is prepaid). New Zealand takes biosecurity seriously. Declare all food, plant material, and outdoor gear on your arrival card or face fines of NZD 400.
