India e-Visa — Explained for New Zealand Citizens & Residents

New Zealand citizens applying for an Indian e-Visa can complete the entire process online — no embassy visit, no physical document submission for short-term travel. The Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) is emailed to you directly once the Government of India grants it.
Three categories cover the full range of reasons New Zealanders travel to India. The 'India e-Tourist Visa' is available in 30-day, 1-year, and 5-year options — covering independent travel, cultural and spiritual circuits, yoga retreats, family visits, and wellness programmes. The 'India e-Business Visa' is valid for one year with multiple entries, covering meetings, trade visits, and the growing India–New Zealand commercial relationship supported by the 2026 Free Trade Agreement. The 'India e-Medical Visa' allows triple entry over 60 days for those seeking treatment or extended Ayurvedic care at recognized Indian medical facilities.
New Zealand nationals on the 1-year or 5-year e-Tourist Visa may stay up to 90 days per continuous visit, with a total annual cap of 180 days across all visits. The Indian e-Visa is non-extendable, non-convertible, and valid only at designated airports and seaports — not land borders.

Why New Zealand Citizens Choose IVC? Getting the Indian e-Visa Right Matters!

India is not a destination New Zealanders take lightly — and that is exactly what makes it one of the most rewarding long-haul trips a Kiwi can make. The sensory contrast alone is something else: from New Zealand's open skies and clean coastlines to the ancient density of Varanasi's ghats, the colour of Rajasthan's markets, the quiet of a Kerala backwater, or the altitude of Ladakh's mountain roads.
IVC reviews every New Zealand application before it is submitted — checking visa category, document formats, photo compliance, and passport data — so nothing stands between you and your boarding pass. The entire process runs online and your approved Indian e-Visa arrives directly in your inbox.

New Zealand Passport, Indian Visa | Facts Worth Knowing...

  • With around 83,000 New Zealand citizens' arrivals to India recorded in recent data, India e-visa serves as a great visa option. It is entirely an online process, no embassy visits in New Zealand and only takes 15-20 minutes.
