Tourist Visa from Kenya to New Zealand
- Applicants on a tourist visa can visit friends and family residing in New Zealand and also explore and enjoy any adventurous activity while in the country.
- Applicants of this visa must possess an original passport valid for at least three months beyond the applicant's departure date from New Zealand.
- The passport-sized photographs used for the visa application must meet the following guidelines:
- 35mm x 45mm in size
- Must be in color
- Must be recent (not taken later than 6 months)
- The background color should be a light color, although white is not acceptable.
- Do not wear the same top as the color of the background.
- If you intend visiting family and friends in the country, a letter of invitation from your host in New Zealand is required. Information in the letter should include the home address, telephone number, and a copy of a valid means of identification of the host.
- Tourist travelers to New Zealand are not allowed to study full-time in the country. Holders of the tourist visa are only allowed to study for a period of not more than three months.
- The tourist visa is renewable. You can apply for a multiple-entry visa.
- A letter from your employer confirming the awareness and allowance of your leave is required. The letter should also include your job position, the company’s address, how long you have been employed, and the duration of your leave.
- If you are under the age of 18 years, the original copy of your birth certificate should be provided. If minors are traveling without their parents or with one of their parents, a letter of consent signed by both parents should be provided.
- Foreigners applying for this visa are to show proof that they have the incentive of returning to their home country once their visa expires. New Zealand authorities take this regulation seriously because of the rate of illegal immigrants in the country.
- Applicants must show proof they have enough money to finance their stay while in New Zealand.
- Proof of good character must be provided -- usually in the form of a police clearance. It is harder for people with a criminal record to be issued a New Zealand visa.
