As an Armenian passport holder planning a trip to New Zealand, obtaining a visa is a mandatory step, with options spanning multiple categories such as tourist, business, student, and transit visas, totaling six distinct types to suit various travel purposes. Given the extensive distance between Yerevan and Wellington, navigating this journey often involves multiple long-haul flights, typically amounting to over 24 hours of travel time and crossing numerous time zones, effectively taking you to almost the opposite side of the globe. Once approved, these visas are generally granted for a specific duration, and applicants should anticipate associated application fees as part of the process, payable in New Zealand Dollars.
