New Zealand announces that UAE passport holders who want to visit New Zealand must have an electronic travel permit issued by the Immigration department of New Zealand as of today October 1, that is valid to multiple visits for up to two years.
Emiratis must apply online for NzeTA, 72 hours before flying out through the link
https://www.immigration.govt.nz/new-zealand-visas/apply-for-a-visa/about-visa/nzeta
or through the iOS application
https://apps.apple.com/nz/app/nzeta/id1470900142
or the Android application

The application process for the NZeTA takes around five minutes.
An NZeTA request costs NZD$9 on both the iOS and the Android free applications, or NZD$12 if completed online. Applicants will pay a NZD$35 International Visitor Conservation and Tourism Levy, IVL, at the same time as their NZeTA.
The Embassy of New Zealand in the UAE clarified that Emirati travelers transiting through Auckland International Airport on their way to another destination will have to apply for a transit NZeTA.
