The New Zealand Commerce and Industry Office has obtained permission from New Zealand authorities to handle all procedures related to visas for travel by Taiwan residents to New Zealand for tourism and travel, study, work and business, and immigration. Other visa work, originally handled through Hong Kong, will remain unaffected.
Expansion of the office's duties will simplify and facilitate tourist and business travel from Taiwan to New Zealand. Under normal circumstances, a visa can be expected to be issued within three working days after receipt of an application.
Applications will be accepted between the hours of 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday to Friday. The basic processing fee is NT$1,000 for tourists and businessmen and NT$3,500 for students.
The address of The New Zealand Commerce and Industry Office is: Rm. 12, 8th F1., No. 333, Keelung Rd., Sec. 1, Taipei, Taiwan, R.O.C. Tel: (02) 757-7060.
