How much time does it take to get a New Zealand visa from India?
New
Zealand offers visa for tourism, study, work, living permanently,

applicant’s nationality, qualifications, and eligibility criteria
specified by Immigration New Zealand,
the processing time varies for each of the visa categories.
Additionally, the processing time could be extended due to missing
documents, incomplete application, and other factors. The Immigration
New Zealand may ask an applicant to provide additional documents or
