How do I apply for a New Zealand visa?
- 1
Apply online through Immigration New Zealand
Complete the Visitor Visa application through INZ's online system, from Dhaka.
- 2
Pay the visa fee and the IVL
Pay the Visitor Visa fee (from NZD 441) plus the NZD 100 International Visitor Conservation and Tourism Levy as prompted in the online application.
- 3
Provide biometrics
Give a photo, fingerprints and, in some cases, an iris scan as part of the application. INZ says refusing can lead to refusal of the visa; FlyNext advises on the current Bangladesh collection point when we prepare your application.
- 4
Show evidence of funds
Show at least NZD 1,000 for each month of your stay, or NZD 400 a month if accommodation is already paid for, plus any other supporting documents INZ requests.
- 5
Wait for the decision
INZ decides 80% of Visitor Visa applications within 2 weeks. If approved, the visa is linked electronically to your passport.
What else do people ask about the New Zealand visa?
No. Bangladesh is not on New Zealand's visa waiver list, so an NZeTA alone does not authorise entry. A Visitor Visa must be applied for and granted before you fly; the NZeTA is only a companion step for travellers from visa-waiver countries, not a substitute for Bangladeshi passport holders.
Immigration New Zealand states a fee starting from NZD 441 for the Visitor Visa, plus a separate NZD 100 International Visitor Conservation and Tourism Levy. Both figures are confirmed on INZ's official site, though the exact total for every applicant isn't itemised on the page read for this guide.
No. Immigration New Zealand's official page states the International Visitor Conservation and Tourism Levy is not refunded, even when the visa application is declined.
INZ states that 80% of Visitor Visa applications are decided within 2 weeks. This is a percentile figure rather than a guaranteed working-day range, so some applications take longer.
Yes. Immigration New Zealand requires biometric information — a photo, fingerprints and, in some cases, an iris scan — as part of the Visitor Visa application. Refusing to provide it can lead to the visa being refused.
Immigration New Zealand's official page states at least NZD 1,000 for each month of your stay, or NZD 400 a month if your accommodation is already paid for. INZ doesn't say how many months of bank statements this must be shown across.
No. Only the embassy, high commission or immigration authority decides whether a visa is granted, so no agency can honestly guarantee it. What we do is make sure your application is complete, consistent and matches the official checklist, which removes the most common reasons for refusal. Be wary of anyone who promises a guaranteed visa for an extra payment.
Yes. Send us the refusal letter and the documents you submitted. We look at the reason the embassy gave, such as weak financial proof, an unclear travel purpose or missing papers, and fix that before you apply again. Reapplying with the same file usually brings the same result. Tell the embassy about the earlier refusal whenever the form asks: hiding it can lead to a longer ban.
Embassy requirements can change at any time. Contact us to confirm the latest checklist before you apply.
