Guardian Visitor Visa moving to enhanced Immigration Online

Read more on the Immigration New Zealand news centre.

From 3 November 2025, all Guardian Visitor Visa applications should be submitted via the enhanced Immigration Online system.

The enhanced system offers better application tracking and a more streamlined experience for applicants. Updated guidance and support materials are built into the form.

Applicants will still be able to access draft and submitted applications using the old application form after 3 November. We will notify them when the old application form is due to close.
