WEGL81 Posted February 27, 2023 Author #27 Share Posted February 27, 2023 For anyone following this thread, the NZeTA app issues seem to be resolved. I have no issue accessing the app (no more network error). Hopefully it is not just me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coo359a2 Posted May 10, 2023 #28 Share Posted May 10, 2023 On Monday (8th) I got my NZeTA approved within minutes after completing the app. 30 Minutes later got the Pending email response for husband's NZeTA request and as of today (56 hours later) his is still pending. Did check status on the web site which showed pending. Guess we will be cancelling our cruise if still pending by next week. I would hope that we get a "declined" email so we know we stand. We both got the AUeTA approval with minutes of submitting the info through the app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare JJK2008 Posted May 27, 2023 #29 Share Posted May 27, 2023 Finally, was able to get our New Zealand ETA. For weeks now we kept getting errors messages with the phone app. Switched to the on-line version and got it to work. It was slightly more money, but it worked. A small tip that may be of help to those using the on-line application instead of the phone app. You are required to upload a photo. The photo must meet certain size requirements, etc. After several attempts at downloading photos and having them rejected, my DW and I started searching the internet. We found a post that advised turning the flash on when you take the picture. IT WORKED!!! Apparently, the flash will block out any shadows that were causing the photo to be rejected. This is for the photos uploaded to the on-line application NOT the phone app. I have no idea if the same issue arises with the phone app. Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdrl Posted July 20, 2023 #30 Share Posted July 20, 2023 We have downloaded the NZETA app three times on on iPhone and when it is opened an error immediately occurs. Can’t get any further. Today we went online and filled the information there uploaded a photo and within minutes had the email approving the NZ ETA. THE email reminded us that we need to fill out the Visa card on the plane. Both DH and I are set to go for our February 2024 cruise. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have always flown straight into Sydney in past travels. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure. The previous physical cards had a section for passengers in transit. I guess the online form will have similar. However, if you stay airside, you don't actually "enter" NZ, maybe not! I really don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdrl Posted July 21, 2023 #34 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Thanks for all of the replies. Hopefully the app will get fixed soon and the card will be available through it and perhaps online for those of us who have broken apps or for those that don’t use smart phones.

c130 Posted July 21, 2023 #35 Share Posted July 21, 2023 After trying for weeks to use the NZeTA APP, I also switched to the online version. Worked flawlessly. Had the approval with in minutes.
