Visa Rejection Reasons

Factors that can get your visa rejected

Lack of Financial Evidence

Having no proof that one has sufficient money to spend during their stay, either through bank statements or financial guarantees, will result in a visa denial.

Inadequate or Inaccurate Documentation

Failure to prepare proper or inadequate documents leads to a direct rejection since all the documentation has to be perfect.

Previous Violation of Visa or Criminal Record

Staying beyond visa, breaching immigration rules, or even having a criminal record previously can be another important reason for your visa denial.

Failure to Provide Strong Ties in Your Country

Inability to show any strong personal, professional, or financial connections to your home country may raise a question over your intention to return.

Improper Justification of Purpose for Visit

Failure or ambiguity in explaining the purposes for visiting a country or failing to provide evidence like itineraries or invitation letters may result in your visa rejection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I extend my New Zealand tourist visa?

You cannot extend your existing tourist visa, but you can apply for a new visa or a temporary visa before your current one expires. This allows for a potential stay of up to 9 months within an 18-month period, provided you meet the necessary requirements and can demonstrate sufficient funds.

Is travel insurance required for a New Zealand tourist visa?

While travel insurance is not mandatory for obtaining a New Zealand tourist visa, it is highly recommended. New Zealand's healthcare system can be expensive for visitors, and travel insurance can provide financial protection against unexpected medical expenses, trip cancellations, and lost luggage.

Can I work on a New Zealand tourist visa?

No, you are not allowed to work in New Zealand with a tourist visa. If you intend to work, you must apply for the appropriate work visa. However, business visitors can attend meetings, conferences, or engage in short-term business activities without violating tourist visa conditions.

How many times can I enter New Zealand with a tourist visa?

The New Zealand tourist visa can be issued as a single-entry or multiple-entry visa. A multiple-entry visa allows you to enter and exit New Zealand several times within the visa's validity period, typically 18 months. However, you must not exceed the maximum stay duration specified on your visa.

What should I do if my New Zealand tourist visa application is declined?

If your tourist visa application is declined, you have the option to request a reconsideration. This involves submitting a written letter in English, along with supporting evidence, to the Immigration Authority of New Zealand. The decision will be reviewed by an officer of equal or higher rank, potentially resulting in visa approval if the original decision is deemed incorrect.
