Lauale Posted June 26, 2023 #27 Share Posted June 26, 2023 We did our Aus eta online a month ago, but the NZ one was done through the app. Both were granted within 48 hours. The Aus ETA was free, the NZ ETA was $52 NZ each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do however need an electronic travel waiver -these are the official links Information about NZeTA: New Zealand Electronic Travel Authority | Immigration New Zealand Apply for an Electronic Travel Authority (ETA) (highcommission.gov.au) The biggest thing you need to understand that you CANNOT bring in food or vegetables of any type into NZ or Australia - our bio security is taken very seriously here. You must NOT take food of the cruise ship at ports unless its a sealed commercial item(like a sealed protein bar). If flying there is an instant $400 fine if you have a piece of fruit (or anything else ) in your bag - doesnt' matter if you forgot it was there. There no requirements for Covid vaccines/test at the border to enter the country- but there maybe still some for embarking your ship in Australia - as that's state authority not Federal. If you've come from certain places like S America and Africa there maybe a requirement for a yellow fever vaccine. Thanks for clearing this up. ETA NOT Visas LOL. I have both apps on my phone now so will apply shortly. I remember years ago flying into SYD and I had half a candy bar in my purse and that caused quite the stir. The agent told me "No lollies!" and of course I had no idea what he was talking about LOL. Edited June 26, 2023 by MrsB05 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Aus ETA cannot be done online, it has to be done through the app and there is a cost of $20. The eVisitor is for many European passport holders including the UK and as you say is free. Other passport holders including USA and Canada would need to apply for the ETA. Edited June 26, 2023 by possum52 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
