Request an NZeTA (no visa needed)

Mexico passport holders are visa-waiver for New Zealand — request a New Zealand Electronic Travel Authority (NZeTA) online instead of a visa.

The bottom line

Request the NZeTA in the official NZeTA app or online; it's valid for up to 2 years and allows stays of up to 3 months per visit.
You also pay the International Visitor Conservation and Tourism Levy (IVL) with your NZeTA.
An NZeTA is permission to travel, not a guarantee of entry — confirm your exact requirement on the official tool.

Where you'll apply

The NZeTA is requested entirely online — no visa centre or interview.
