Every visa application involves costs that typically include the application fee, immigration levy, and in many cases the International Visitor Levy (IVL). These charges vary depending on the visa type, nationality, and whether you apply inside or outside New Zealand. For example, visitor visas often include the IVL, while residence visas do not. The immigration fee helps fund settlement services, border management, and migrant support programs, ensuring a smooth process for applicants.
