Scamming company. Avoid at all costs
Avoid using this company to apply for your New Zealand NZeTA they are nothing to do with the New Zealand government and they will charge you over double for your application.
Application for me and my wife should have been $246 NZD including the application and the IVL.
This company charged my credit card £246 GBP which is just over $558 NZD.

Rip off stay away
Rip off stay away from newzealandvisas.org NOT THE NZ GOV SITE
Misleading on credit card entry as well they tried to charge me 5 times and charged my husband 3 times, good on my CC company they wouldn’t let any of the charges go through and put a block on it

This is a scam
This is a scam. As an American you can get a visa directly from the country — in this case New Zealand, usually in a few minutes for ~$125NZ – $100 of which goes directly to their environmental fund.
Be clear what you’re clicking on – this is not necessary.

Complete scam – newzealandvisas.org BEWARE
Complete scam – and horrible US Credit Card regulations prevents me from disputing the charge; even though I received nothing from this BS company. I
If anyone knows a way to file a complaint in Spain, where the company is setup – please advise. I am speaking with my attorney this week and will not rest until this company reimburses me the money they took for doing nothing.

Useless and immoral
This company quite simply rips customers off. They charge double the cost of a NZ e visa, but claim they are providing a ‘service’. Avoid like the plague

The name newzealandvisas.org is highly…
The name newzealandvisas.org is highly misleading for a commercial site. The use of an “.org” domain, typically associated with non-profits or official organizations, creates the false impression that this is an official New Zealand government website. There is no clear disclaimer to clarify otherwise—in fact, the site appears deliberately designed to obscure the truth. In addition, the service fees charged by the site are exorbitantly high, at 10 times the official cost, taking advantage of users who may not realize they are being overcharged.
I was a click away of submitting my CC information to this scam site!

A SCAM
A SCAM!
Very disappointing that I was dumb enough to fall for this scam. They present themselves as the NZ government and they rank highest on Google search so it’s naturally the first I clicked. I’m filing a complaint.

Beware of this company…
I recently visited a website to apply for an NZeTA and wanted to understand their process and charges. However, I unknowingly ended up applying for an eTA and was charged $157. Realizing that I had likely been misled, I immediately sent a cancellation request. Instead of processing the cancellation, they responded with an email stating that my eTA had already been processed and could not be canceled.
I followed up with several emails, questioning how they charged me $90 more than the government’s official site without providing a clear breakdown or even a receipt.
It has become clear that this company is misleading clients by projecting itself as a legitimate service. Upon further research, I discovered they have done this to others in the past. I want to caution everyone about this practice and will be reporting this to the cybercrime agency for investigation.

This company is a scam
This company is a scam. Issued me a visa with wrong passport number and nationality. Charged me way more than a visa is. They don’t have a contact number or email neither. DO NOT USE.

THIS WEBSITE IS A SCAM
THIS WEBSITE IS A SCAM. DO NOT USE IT.
This Spanish company is not providing any service. They are pretending to be the official channel for New Zealand e-visa applications. I uploaded my information and paid them four times the official application fee. I subsequently used the official New Zealand visa application portal and received my digital visa within minutes. It is the same English form.
They are misleading customers internationally by resembling an official website with a .org URL, collecting passport and credit card information, and making it nearly impossible to request a refund.

DO NOT USE THIS AGENCY.
DO NOT USE THIS AGENCY.
Used them to get my VISA and they spelled my name incorrectly and the they refused to fix it or give me a refund. They omitted my middle name which is a requirement by immigration since the name MUST match what it reads on the passport. Furthermore, they charge double what you would pay if you went through the government directly….to bad i found out after. After having paid double the normal fee, the service should have been top notch. I am ow having to file through the government directly to get this resolved. This agency is not to be trusted or recommended.

Fast and easy
easy and fast. It’s an agency so you pay extra, but worth it for me
Below are the analyze and conclusion of us about above reviews
Review 1 (davea richa): This review strongly suggests a scam. The user claims the company charged them significantly more than the official New Zealand government rate for an NZeTA application. They highlight a discrepancy between the expected cost (NZD $246) and the actual charge (GBP £246, equivalent to approximately NZD $558). The reviewer explicitly advises others to avoid the company, labeling it a “scamming company.” This indicates potential overcharging and misrepresentation of affiliation with the New Zealand government.
Review 2 (Amy Carlson): This is another negative review, unequivocally labeling the site a “Rip off.” The reviewer directly warns people to stay away and clarifies that newzealandvisas.org is “NOT THE NZ GOV SITE.” The review also mentions issues with multiple attempted charges to their and their husband’s credit cards, which were fortunately blocked by their credit card company. This points towards potential fraudulent activity and reinforces the scam allegations.
Review 3 (Alicia Hunt): This review identifies the site as a scam and directs people to the official route to get the visa directly from New Zealand for a lower price. The reviewer makes it clear that using the reviewed site is unnecessary.
Review 4 (Kenny Kirsch): This review is very negative, calling the site a “Complete scam.” The reviewer expresses frustration with US credit card regulations that prevent them from disputing the charge. They are seeking ways to file a complaint in Spain, where the company is located, indicating a desire to pursue legal action. This adds weight to the claim that the company is fraudulent and unwilling to provide the service paid for.
Review 5 (Robert Aitken): This review accuses the company of ripping customers off by charging double the official cost of an NZ e-visa while claiming to provide a ‘service’. The reviewer strongly advises avoiding the company.
Review 6 (EDARALP): This review focuses on the deceptive nature of the domain name “newzealandvisas.org,” noting that the “.org” extension is misleading as it is typically associated with non-profit or official organizations. The reviewer claims the site is designed to obscure the truth and that the service fees are exorbitantly high (10 times the official cost). They state they were close to submitting their credit card information, narrowly avoiding the potential scam.
Review 7 (Logan Edgar): This reviewer explicitly labels the site “A SCAM!” and expresses disappointment in falling for it. They explain that the site presented itself as the NZ government and ranked highly in Google search results, leading them to click on it. They intend to file a complaint, further reinforcing the scam allegations.
Review 8 (AMIT VASAVADA): This review details an experience where the reviewer unknowingly applied for an eTA and was charged $157, $90 more than the government’s official site. Despite immediately requesting a cancellation, the company claimed the eTA had already been processed and could not be canceled. The reviewer highlights the lack of a clear breakdown of charges or a receipt, and intends to report the company to a cybercrime agency. This suggests deceptive business practices and a lack of transparency.
Review 9 (Laverne Vanaelst): This review states this company is a scam. The reviewer mentions receiving a visa with the wrong passport number and nationality, being charged more than the usual visa cost. No contact number or email is provided, indicating a lack of customer support.
Review 10 (Salim Sekercioglu): This review emphatically declares, “THIS WEBSITE IS A SCAM. DO NOT USE IT.” The reviewer explains that the Spanish company is pretending to be the official channel for New Zealand e-visa applications and charged them four times the official fee. They successfully obtained their visa through the official New Zealand portal, highlighting the unnecessary and overpriced service offered by the reviewed website. The reviewer also points out the deceptive use of the .org URL and the difficulty in obtaining a refund.
Review 11 (L C): This reviewer warns “DO NOT USE THIS AGENCY.” They report that the agency made errors on their VISA (spelled name incorrectly), refused to fix it or provide a refund, and charged double the government rate. The reviewer now has to resolve the issue through the government directly.
Review 12 (Prokop): This review is positive, stating the service was “easy and fast”. The reviewer acknowledge they paid extra because it was an agency, but they found it worth it. This is the only positive review.
newzealandvisas.org likely a scam
