|

Just read through our e-ticket for flights to NZ and it says "visa required" on the bottom - but how can that be if our return date is within 6 months of arrival in NZ? Am I missing something...
Plus, having read the posting re the poor guy who got hauled over the coals for 5 hrs at immigration  should we take any EOI receipts etc with us - I felt that this would confuse the immigration guys as we are on a visitors visa.. what to do? Keep schtum and say nothing except we are on a holiday or mention that we may be accepted via EOI whilst in the country?

Most e-tickets require proof of identity when showing up at the check in,
99% of times they use the visa card you booked with.
Its quite possible thats what it means ... or ....
Its a standard print on the bottom and they don't check to see if the travellers allowed greater than X number of weeks |

Thanks Az - rang the travel agent and the girl on the phone hadn't a CLUE about Visas!!
I was just worried that something had changed and that now visa's were required for 6 months or less! |

Maybe you want to call NZ embassy and ask about the situation, and if happens you need visa just go to the embassy and obtain one...no? |

Hi Moorf,
I asked the same question in May when we went over, you certainly do not need a visa if travelling from the UK. I think the e-ticket is a standard form so has to satisfy everyone.
Mark.  |

When Dan came over in May to get a job he had an e-ticket, but didn't have a visa he didn't have any trouble.
He just had to fill in a form on the plane (everyone gets them).
You shouldn't have any problem
