New Zealand Immigration Update:no more visa labelsUpdate INZ will no longer place visa labels in physical passports, unless specifically requested by an applicant, and after a fee is paid. eVisas will now be issued and will need to be printed out and carried with a physical passport, when travelling internationally. Background There is no longer a need to have a physical label in an individual’s passport to verify that they have a visa. Almost half of New Zealand visas are now label-less and INZ would like to extend this to all applications. Who will be impacted? Any individual applying for a New Zealand temporary entry or residence class visa, whether online or through a paper-based application. Benefits:
Note: students using Provider Direct will still require physical labels, at this stage. Further information? Get in touch with one of our experts today.
