PACKING LIST FOR HUNTERS
IMPORTANT
Non residents traveling into New Zealand require an Electronic Travel Authority (ETA). Application for an ETA is a simple 10 minute online process. Use this link to access the Immigration NZ ETA information and application web page:
https://www.immigration.govt.nz/new-zealand-visas/apply-for-a-visa/about-visa/nzeta
We recommend you pay the International Visitor Conservation and Tourism Levy (IVL) at the same time as your NZ ETA.
