Travel Circumstances Requiring Urgent Processing

Urgent processing is ideal for:

• Last-minute business trips⇉ When an unexpected meeting or opportunity arises, and you need to travel immediately without waiting for standard processing times.
• Family emergencies⇉ If a loved one falls seriously ill or there's an urgent situation requiring your presence in New Zealand without delay.
• Sudden travel schedule changes ⇉ When flights get rescheduled or plans shift unexpectedly, leaving little time for standard visa processing.
• Missed prior ETA application deadlines ⇉ If you forgot to apply earlier and now face imminent departure with no approved travel authorisation.
