Visas to the Ends of the Earth

Even the ends of the earth can be reached by obtaining a visa with the help of professionals

The remaining countries of the region, with the exception of Papua New Guinea, characterized by a high crime rate, are located on fairly small islands, and therefore are hard to reach and have limited infrastructure, well suited only for beach holidays and various water sports (diving, surfing, etc.).

A visitor visa to Australia for tourism purposes is issued for a period not exceeding one year. To apply, you need to fill out a special application form in English (signing it, specifying your email address, and attaching a color photograph 35 x 45 mm), submit a copy of the pages of your international passport (including pages with visas from other countries).

Also necessary to submit documents confirming the tourist nature of the trip (hotel reservation, etc.) and confirmation of sufficient financial means for the trip (bank account statement, etc.). The submitted documents must be translated into English and notarized.

Taking out medical insurance for the duration of your stay in the country is not mandatory (if you are under 75), but recommended. People staying in Australia for more than three months and people over 75 must undergo a medical examination (at clinics accredited by the Australian embassy) to obtain a visa.

The notification of visa issuance is sent to the applicant's email address. To avoid misunderstandings, it is recommended to print the notification and take it with you on the trip.

Tourist visas to New Zealand are processed under a procedure that is largely similar to the processing of similar Australian visas. The applicant provides a foreign passport and a copy of its pages, including pages with visas from the Schengen area, Great Britain and Australia, Canada and the USA (if any). A special application form is filled out in English and supplemented with a photograph (3x4 cm).

In the mandatory certificate from the place of employment, salary is very important – with a salary of less than 1000 US dollars, the chances of obtaining a visa decrease significantly, which can usually be remedied by the applicant making a cash deposit.

To confirm the tourist nature of the trip, it is necessary to provide documents confirming the reservation of air tickets and hotel.
