US passport holders enter New Zealand visa-free for up to 90 days. Before travel, apply for a New Zealand Electronic Travel Authority (NZeTA) at nzeta.immigration.govt.nz or through the NZeTA app. The NZeTA costs NZD 17 ($10) via the app or NZD 23 ($14) via the website and is valid for 2 years.

At Auckland Airport (AKL), Christchurch (CHC), or Wellington (WLG), immigration checks your NZeTA electronically and stamps your passport.
