Fiji Among Countries Facing NZ Visa Service Fee Hike

March 12, 2026·22 days ago·via FBC News

Fiji joins 26 countries where Visa Application Centre service fees for New Zealand visas rise from January 1, 2026, due to inflation and operational costs, though Immigration New Zealand's core visa fees stay unchanged. Fijian citizens require a visa for visits up to 30 days and now face higher charges at VACs like VFS Global for biometrics and processing. Applicants must verify updated fees via official Immigration New Zealand tools to sidestep delays.
