used it two years ago to add two travellers from the US. I know we need to pay for another two years because the nzeta ran out while we were in NZ and we went back home to the US in December. Our current status is not shown. it says; "Checking, please wait..." We are going back in 18 days. Should I delete our NZETA data in settings and not wait for our status? Issues... There is no help system in the app, email contact is no reply, link to nzeta web site in description is to IVL site.

app doesn't continue on payment step. closed it, would have to start all over again. probably using the website now

Pretty useless, the app asks you to take a selfie, but the camera is set to maximum zoom. This makes it impossible to actually get any photo.

Very easy and worked perfectly. Took about 2 days for approval.

Why the tourism levy so expensive?

I was trying to get a Visa to go into New Zeland by airplane and stay in New Zeland for 30 hours before boarding ship. There are only 2 options, transit of ship. What about land, which one should I choose if I'm going to be in New Zeland for 30 hours before i get on ship?
