How to Apply

If you need a visa, you must schedule an appointment for a visa interview,
following the five steps outlined below. Your visa eligibility can only be
determined by an officer of the Auckland Consulate General at an interview.

We encourage you to apply early, as there can be a wait time for a visa
appointment during peak times of the year, and some cases require additional
administrative processing that the Consulate is not able to waive.
Applying two weeks before your intended travel date is generally sufficient to
complete all necessary processing, but complicated cases can take longer.

You can find the current wait time for a visa appointment and processing at
the Consulate General in Auckland on the Visa Wait Time section of travel.state.gov.

There are five easy steps to applying for a visa:

Fill out the forms;

Make appointment for
interview;

Pay application fee and
purchase courier bag;

Obtain passport photo
and gather supporting documents;

Attend interview.

For your review, we have provided a final Interview
Checklist.
