NZ Expands Immigration Online System with New Visa Applications
New Zealand's Immigration Online system has expanded to include Group Visitor and Tour Escort Visas, starting August 24, 2026.
This change affects new online applications for these types of visas, which were previously handled through an older system. Existing applications will continue to be processed normally.
Applicants who have already submitted draft applications on the old form have until October 7, 2026, to complete and submit them. After that date, any remaining drafts will be deleted, and applicants will need to start a new application on the enhanced system.
