How to Apply for New Zealand Visitor E-Visa as Philippine Passport Holder

an adventure of Pinoy backpacker in processing travel documents

Highlight: I applied as Filipino Solo Traveller with Philippine passport onlywith NO WORK (ex-OFW, retired Engineer) and with NO BUSINESS. I provided proofs of enough savings, investments and travel history visa stamps to Europe, United States, Japan and Australia. I declared my employment status as "Retired".

* The process is almost the same with Australia Visitor E-Visa (but no biometrics)
* Visa duration is up to 1 year from the date of grant
* Length of Stay is 3 month(s) from the date of each arrival, multiple entries

My New Zealand Visitor Visa Application is the easiest and fastest visa application I ever had, on almost 2 days processing only and with waived visa fee of 211 NZD / 7,200 PHP.
