New Zealand Eta For German, Austrian And US Citizens

Published

on

NEW ZEALAND ETA FOR GERMAN CITIZENS

Before traveling to New Zealand, you need to obtain a visa. German individuals have the option to request a visa exemption electronically via the New Zealand Electronic Travel Authority (NZeTA). It permits eligible travelers from more than 190 nations, such as Germany, to travel to New Zealand for tourism, work, or layover reasons. German citizens must obtain a NZeTA in order to travel to New Zealand. Those holding the NZeTA are not required to obtain a visa for their New Zealand visit. To enter New Zealand visa-free, German citizens must fulfill specific essential criteria for the New Zealand eTA. In 2019, a program was started to eliminate the need for visas. Its name is the New Zealand Electronic Travel Authority, or New Zealand eTA. Once obtained, the New Zealand eTA allows Germans to travel to New Zealand multiple times without needing a visa for up to two years. German visitors who have a NZeTA can stay for up to 30 days per visit. To improve security and safety, the New Zealand Visa Waiver Scheme was implemented. The New Zealand eTA for German citizens grants visa-free access to the country for stays of up to 3 months. The New Zealand eTA is also electronically linked to the German passport. Citizens from Germany must apply for a visa before entering New Zealand if they plan to stay in New Zealand for more than 3 months. The NZeTA application for Germans is quick and easy to fill out online. The authorization process is quick, easy and should take less than 30 minutes for most applicants.

New Zealand eTA Requirements for German Citizens

  • A valid German passport – The traveler’s passport needs to have a validity of at least 3 months after the trip to New Zealand. The approved eTA will be electronically linked to this document.

  • A valid payment method – To complete and submit the New Zealand eTA application, travelers will need to pay the application fee and NZ International Visitor Conservation and Tourism Levy fee (already included in the total cost). This can be done using a valid debit or credit card.

  • A valid email address – Finally, all travelers are required to enter a valid email address on their application. This is to receive notifications regarding the New Zealand eTA and a copy of the authorization once approved.

  • A recent photograph of the German applicant.

NEW ZEALAND VISIT WITH CRIMINAL RECORD

Travellers who have a history of criminal offenses may be uncertain about their eligibility for a New Zealand eTA or visa. Even though New Zealand has strict character standards, possessing a previous criminal record does not necessarily bar someone from entering the country. People who are not from New Zealand and wish to travel to the country must possess a positive moral standing. Individuals with a history of criminal activity or providing inaccurate information are typically not granted a visa unless they are given a waiver for their character. Unsubstantiated accusations and court cases are not enough to prove someone’s negative traits. Visa applicants must reveal if they are under investigation by a law enforcement agency in any country or have a past criminal record. In the case of character waivers, each application is examined on its own merits, taking into account factors such as the nature of an offense, the number of offenses, and the time since the occurrence or events occurred. A special instruction (under section 17 of the Immigration Act 2009 (the Act)) provides for exceptions to be made in the case of an “excluded person” who is not eligible for a visa, entrance authorization, or visa waiver under sections 15 or 16 of the Act. Excluded persons include:

  • A person who has been sentenced to a prison sentence for a term of 5 years or more at any time.

  • A person who at any time within the preceding 10 years has been sentenced to a prison sentence of 12 months or more.

  • A person who has been removed or deported from New Zealand and is subject to a period of prohibition.

  • A person who is excluded from New Zealand under any enactment. A person who at any time has been removed, excluded, or deported from another country.

  • Anyone who the Minister of Immigration has reason to believe is, or is likely to be, a threat or risk to security, public order or the public interest.

  • Anyone who the Minister has reason to believe is likely to commit an offence in New Zealand punishable by imprisonment.

  • Any person who is a member of a terrorist entity designated under the Terrorism Suppression Act 2002.

NEW ZEALAND ETA VISA FOR GERMAN CITIZENS

New Zealand is located in the southwestern Pacific Ocean and boasts stunning natural beauty. Consequently, it has become one of the top tourist spots globally. Before traveling to New Zealand, you are required to submit a visa application. German citizens can skip visa requirements online by using the New Zealand Electronic Travel Authority (NZeTA). Qualified visitors from more than 190 nations, such as Germany, are able to travel to New Zealand for tourism, business, or layovers. German nationals are required to get a NZeTA for visiting New Zealand. Those with the NZeTA do not require a visa for entry into New Zealand. German citizens need to meet specific New Zealand eTA criteria to travel to New Zealand visa-free. In 2019, a program was introduced to eliminate the need for visas. It is known as the New Zealand eTA, which stands for New Zealand Electronic Travel Authority. The New Zealand eTA for Germans, once received, permits the holder to visit New Zealand several times without a visa for the duration of its validity (up to two years). German visitors who have a NZeTA can stay for up to 30 days per visit. To improve security and safety, the New Zealand Visa Waiver Scheme was implemented. The New Zealand eTA for German citizens grants visa-free access to the country for stays of up to 3 months. The New Zealand eTA is also electronically linked to the German passport. Citizens from Germany must apply for a visa before entering New Zealand if they plan to stay in New Zealand for more than 3 months. The NZeTA application for Germans is quick and easy to fill out online. The authorization process is quick, easy and should take less than 30 minutes for most applicants.

  • A valid German passport – The traveler’s passport needs to have a validity of at least 3 months after the trip to New Zealand. The approved eTA will be electronically linked to this document.

NEW ZEALAND VISA FOR US CITIZENS

If you are a citizen of the United States planning a trip to New Zealand, make sure to obtain a travel permit. Around 190 countries, including the United States, are eligible for the New Zealand eTA. Getting a New Zealand eTA is fast and easy for Americans. Introduced in 2019, the New Zealand eTA for Americans, known as the “NZeTA,” allows eligible individuals to travel to New Zealand for purposes such as transit, tourism, or business. American residents intending to visit New Zealand for a brief time must possess an eTA linked to their passport. The New Zealand eTA is valid for two years from the date it is issued. US citizens can stay in New Zealand for up to 3 months at a time with their eTA. As the New Zealand eTA is a multiple entry eVisa waiver, holders can visit New Zealand multiple times within the two-year period of validity. To apply for a New Zealand ETA from the United States, US citizens must complete a short online application form that asks for the traveler’s personal and passport information. Once approved, US citizens will receive a copy of their New Zealand eTA to the email address provided in the application form.

Documents Required for US Citizens

  • A passport that is valid for at least three months from the planned date of arrival.

  • Arrival and departure dates.

  • To pay the appropriate eTA fees, you’ll need a valid credit or debit card.

  • A valid email address so you can receive your authorized New Zealand eTA in your Inbox.

  • A recent passport-style photograph of the applicant.

NEW ZEALAND VISA FOR AUSTRIAN CITIZENS

People from 190 countries do not need a visa to go to New Zealand, but they must request a New Zealand ETA. The NZeTA program started in July 2019, allowing qualified individuals to travel to New Zealand for tourism, business, or transit without having to go through the complex visa application procedure at an embassy. The New Zealand ETA allows for multiple short stays and is valid for two years. In order to receive a New Zealand ETA approval through email, applicants must also make a payment for a processing fee known as the International Visitor Conservation and Tourism Levy (IVL). Individuals planning to stay in New Zealand for an extended period of time for work or study purposes should seek further information from the nearest New Zealand Embassy or Consulate. Because the eTA is electronically linked to a specific passport, travellers with multiple passports should use the same passport that they used to complete the eTA application to go to New Zealand. The good news is that applying for an ETA is simple and can be completed online in a matter of minutes.

DOCUMENT REQUIREMENTS FOR CITIZENS OF AUSTRIAN

  • A valid Passport valid for at least three months after leaving New Zealand

  • A Complete eTA New Zealand’s application form.

  • Proof of the journey’s intent.

  • You can use a debit or credit card to pay for the NZeTA fees.

  • A valid email address to receive the NZeTA in their Inbox.

Dianetics Diamond Jubilee commemorated at the Frankfurt Buchmesse: 75 years of positively transforming millions of lives

Published

on

Four leading book distributors in Europe chose the Frankfurt Buchmesse to deliver their recognitions to the BestSelling book Dianetics at the launch of celebrations for its 75th Anniversary and wide distribution since publication in May 9th 1950.

Four leading book distributors in Europe chose the Frankfurt Buchmesse to deliver their recognitions to the BestSelling book Dianetics from L. Ron Hubbard at the launch of celebrations for its 75th Anniversary and wide distribution since publication in May 9th 1950.

The 2024 Frankfurt Buchmesse could not have concluded more appropriately than with L. Ron Hubbard’s Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health being acknowledged “for positively and permanently transforming millions of lives over the past three quarters of a century” said a representative.

The book has been honored with four prestigious recognitions from distributors across Europe, as if marking the four cardinal points of the continent. From the North, the UK acknowledges its continued inspiration; from the South, Italy celebrates its profound impact; from the East, Slovakia praises its enduring legacy; and from the West, Spain highlights its perennial bestseller status.

In this regards, Marvin Blagsden, Managing Director of Gazelle Book Services, presented a commemorative plaque recognizing “the extraordinary legacy” of L. Ron Hubbard, which “continues to inspire and guide people worldwide, making a lasting impact on personal development and well-being.” 

Going down south in EuropeDonatella Nazzi, Manager of Libro Co Italia, recognized L. Ron Hubbard’s “remarkable contribution to literature and human knowledge,” adding, “We are very pleased to distribute Dianetics. We have many interesting ideas for next year’s celebration of your anniversary, and I’m sure we can do a great job together.”

In crossing to Slovakia in eastern Europe, Heureka granted Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health by L. Ron Hubbard the award “Finalist Product of the Year 2023 in the Category of Books” and flying to the western Europe in Spain, Arnoia Distribución de Libros S.A., a Galician business group at the forefront of book distribution in Spain and abroad for over 30 years, joined in with another award “to congratulate L. Ron Hubbard for his vast and extraordinary body of published works in honor of the 75th anniversary of his perennial bestseller Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health.”

 

L. Ron Hubbard’s Legacy: One of the Most Enduring and Widely Read Authors in Literary History

As an author, humanitarian, and the founder of Dianetics and Scientology, L. Ron Hubbard stands as one of the most acclaimed figures of the modern age

His writing career, which spanned more than half a century, established him as a leading light in American fiction and as the author of over 35 million words of nonfiction—the most comprehensive exploration of the human mind and spirit, providing a unique pathway to total spiritual freedom. 

Recognized as one of the top 20 bestselling authors of all time, Hubbard’s works have been translated into 114 languages, with more than 325 million copies in circulation, including over 3,000 recorded lectures and approximately 5,000 writings. 

In testament to the magnitude of his literary legacy, he holds four Guinness World Records: for most published author, most translated author, the author with the most audiobook titles, and for the single most translated non-religious work.

Time-Tested Technology: Just as Relevant in 2024 as in 1950.

Published on May 9, 1950, a forerunner of Scientology, Dianetics was proclaimed by the national columnist Walter Winchell in a telling prediction, “There is something new coming up in April called Dianetics. A new science which works with the invariability of physical science in the field of the human mind. From all indications it will prove to be as revolutionary for humanity as the first caveman’s discovery and utilization of fire.”

If Winchell’s statement was bold, it was nonetheless accurate, for with Dianetics came the first definitive explanation of human thinking and behavior. Here, too, “was the first means to resolve problems of the human mind, including unreasonable fears, upsets, insecurities and psychosomatic ills of every description” said one of the fans.

At the core of such problems lay what L. Ron Hubbard termed the “reactive mind” and defined as that “portion of a person’s mind which is entirely stimulus-response, which is not under his volitional control and which exerts force and the power of command over his awareness, purposes, thoughts, body and actions.”  

“That the mind still recorded perceptions during moments of partial or full unconsciousness was dimly known. But how the engram impacted physiologically, how it acted upon thinking and behavior—this was entirely new” says one of the readers,In short, here lay a mind, as Mr. Hubbard so powerfully phrased it, “which makes a man suppress his hopes, which holds his apathies, which gives him irresolution when he should act, and kills him before he has begun to live.”

“As word of  Dianetics spread, general response was considerable: more than fifty thousand copies were acquired by the general publicimmediately off the press, while bookstores struggled to keep it on shelves. As its experienced workability grew, public response grew even more dramatic” said Ivan Arjona-Pelado, European representative for the Church of Scientology.

“Dianetics—Taking U.S. by Storm” and “Fastest Growing Movement in America” read newspaper headlines through the summer of 1950. “While by the end of the year, some 750 Dianetics groups had spontaneously mushroomed from coast to coast and six cities boasted research foundations to help facilitate Mr. Hubbard’s advancement of the subject” continued Arjona-Pelado.

Over the years, Dianetics has become an international phenomenon, with more than 22 million copies in circulation, translated into 50 languages, and distributed in 175 countries worldwide

“As a perennial bestseller, Dianetics is indisputably the most widely read and influential book on the human mind” concluded Arjona-Pelado.
