Before you fly
Depends on your passport
Citizens of the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and Oman are visa-waiver visitors and need an NZeTA (electronic travel authority) plus the tourist levy before flying. Gulf residents travelling on other passports — Indian, Pakistani, Filipino, Egyptian, Jordanian, Lebanese and many others — usually need a visitor visa applied for in advance.
