"I originally used MyJet24 because I did not want to pay for a dummy ticket. That was the only reason. But what actually impressed me was how the PDF looked. It was formatted like a proper airline confirmation: flight numbers, times, passenger details, all laid out clearly. The Italian embassy in Hanoi accepted it without a word. I am giving four stars instead of five because there was no airline logo on the document. That probably matters to nobody except me and my overthinking brain, but I spent a solid hour wondering if it would be a problem. It was not."
A hotel booking confirmation is one of the supporting documents New Zealand embassies require alongside your flight reservation, financial proof and visa application form. The booking does not need to be paid — a held confirmation showing your full name, dates inside the visa-validity window, hotel address and a confirmation number is sufficient for visa-officer review.
What New Zealand Visa Officers Look For on Your Hotel Booking
The booking must contain: full passenger name matching your passport, hotel name and exact street address in New Zealand, check-in and check-out dates that align with your flight itinerary, total nights and a confirmation/reservation reference. MyJet24 produces this format directly from major booking-platform inventories — no fabricated details, no edited screenshots.

Each New Zealand embassy publishes its own list of required documents. Hotel bookings are universally accepted in held form (Booking.com cancellable rate, hotel-direct hold, MyJet24 PDF). You do NOT need to pay the hotel before submitting your visa application — most embassies explicitly recommend not paying until visa approval.
New Zealand NZeTA & INZ Visa Hotel Booking Rules 2026
Immigration New Zealand (INZ) operates the New Zealand Electronic Travel Authority (NZeTA) at immigration.govt.nz/nzeta, mandatory since October 2019 for all visa-waiver passport holders. NZeTA also requires payment of the International Visitor Conservation and Tourism Levy (IVL) — NZ$100 — at application. The NZeTA does not require uploaded hotel proof, but INZ officers at AKL, WLG, CHC, ZQN, and DUD spot-check accommodation on around 5% of arrivals. Visa applicants (Subclass 1A Visitor Visa from non-waiver nationalities) submit hotel proof through ImmigrationONLINE.
| NZ Pathway | Fee | Hotel Required? | IVL |
|---|---|---|---|
| NZeTA (60 nations) | NZ$23 + IVL | AKL desk spot-check | NZ$100 |
| Visitor Visa Subclass 1A | NZ$246 | Mandatory at INZ | NZ$100 inc. |
| Working Holiday Visa | NZ$420 | First 14 days minimum | NZ$100 inc. |
| Resident Visa (ITA) | Variable | First-arrival hotel | Exempt |
Biosecurity declaration: NZ Customs requires a Passenger Arrival Card on every entry — including a "Where you will stay" address field. This is cross-checked against your NZeTA application. MyJet24 NZ hotel bookings use Qualmark-rated properties endorsed by Tourism New Zealand.
