South Korea & Japan label-less visas
Immigration New Zealand (INZ) has announced they will be granting label-less visas when approving temporary (visitor, student and work) visa applications for nationals of South Korea and Japan applying from their home country from November.
The visa is recorded electronically in INZ’s system, and the visa holder will not have a visa label in their passport.
Visa holders will be notified about their visa approval by email from INZ. This notification will contain details about their visa, including the travel and other conditions of the visa.
The change comes into effect in Japan for applications submitted on and after 11 November and in South Korea from 25 November 2013.
Label-less visa holders will be advised to carry their notification when they travel and when they enrol with an educational institute.
More information is available online – for Japan visit here and for Korea visit here.
