    Lightbulb Visitor Visa from India

    Hi all,

    Few of my friends looking forward to join me this Christmas and we are really confused in processing time for visitor visa from india.
    I found this today and it says the new processing time for indian visitors is 3 days.?

    https://www.immigration.govt.nz/abou...to-new-zealand

    and the immigration website says the processing time is 25 days for visitor visa ?

    We can only apply for their visitor visa's if it's approving in 3-5 days as we don't have enough time.
    Also can 2 friends apply for the visitor visa in single application/fee or they need to apply separately ?

    Thanks.

    I haven't seen anything on the forum about this, and I noticed that the link you gave was to a page from last May, so I looked around for anything more, and found this one https://www.expresstravel.in/latest-...-to-nz/400467/, dated November. So it gives some hope that it may be true. Your friends had best enquire directly of the travel agents mentioned to get the details. (Or maybe there is someone out there who has used this system this year, who could tell everyone how it works?)

    As it says on the information page about Visitor Visas https://www.immigration.govt.nz/new-...-visa#overview, you can include "your partner, and dependent children aged 19 and under, in your visa application". Other, unrelated, people can't apply together.

    3-5 days is highly unlikely. In Sep, 2018 one of my friend applied for visitor visa online in Delhi and it took INZ 3 weeks to process their application. You also need to send your original passport as INZ need to see original even thought they'll issue e-visa.

    They need to put separate applications as JandM mentioned.
