→ Ireland visa for New Zealand citizens

For Irish citizens planning a trip to the breathtaking landscapes of New Zealand, an Electronic Travel Authority (ETA) is required, allowing for a maximum stay of 90 days, which can be secured for a nominal fee of NZD 12. Considering the significant distance, with flights often spanning over 24 hours, factor in the 11-hour time difference between Dublin and Wellington when booking your travel and coordinating with contacts. While the tourist visa is your primary option, it's essential to have this ETA processed well in advance, especially during New Zealand's peak summer months of December to February, to ensure a smooth entry into the country.
