Electronic Travel Authority (NZeTA)
your passport passports need New Zealand's Electronic Travel Authority (NZeTA) before departure.
For travellers from visa waiver countries and the other groups New Zealand allows to travel on an NZeTA rather than a full visa.

MigraHub is a private travel-document assistance company. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Government of New Zealand. You can apply directly on the government's own portal without MigraHub, and the government's fee is the same either way. MigraHub charges separately for its assistance, and its fee is always shown apart from the government's.
MigraHub restates what's published for a passport — it does not say whether any person qualifies, and an authorisation to travel is not a promise of entry.
