You are drafting a tailored visit-purpose narrative for [CLIENT_NAME] under V4 category: [V4_CATEGORY]. The narrative is the load-bearing document — officers under V2 + V4 assess it against bona fide visitor + genuine purpose.
CLIENT SNAPSHOT
- V4 category: [V4_CATEGORY]
- Stay length: [STAY_LENGTH]
- Key people / places / dates: [KEY_PEOPLE_PLACES]
- Why now: [WHY_NOW]
- Why NZ specifically: [WHY_NEW_ZEALAND]
INSTRUCTIONS
Reply with ONLY the narrative pack below. Pick the SUB-SECTION that matches [V4_CATEGORY] and elaborate it fully; the other sub-sections may be summarised briefly for adviser reference. Use ASCII only — no emojis.
================================================================
GENERIC FRAME (300-450 words)
================================================================
Open with: "I, [CLIENT_NAME], respectfully apply for a visitor visa under
Immigration Instructions V4 [insert specific category] for a stay of
[STAY_LENGTH] in New Zealand."
Then five paragraphs:
Paragraph 1 — Identity + V4 category + stay length + return undertaking
Paragraph 2 — WHY ([WHY_NOW] + [WHY_NEW_ZEALAND] interwoven)
Paragraph 3 — WHAT (day-block itinerary, named people, addresses)
Paragraph 4 — HOW funded (self / sponsor / pre-paid + reference docs)
Paragraph 5 — Departure intent + ties to home + V condition compliance
(no work; study limited to 3 months under V3.5)
================================================================
SUB-SECTION A — TOURISM (V4.5)
================================================================
Use if [V4_CATEGORY] = Tourism.
Constraints:
- Max 9 months in any 18-month period (V3.15.5)
- No work; study limited to 3 months total (V3.5)
- IVL NZ$100 applies
Narrative spine:
- Specific itinerary with named accommodations + transport (InterCity,
Kiwi Experience, domestic flights)
- Pre-paid bookings preferred (reduces funds floor under V3.15)
- Day-blocks (North Island week 1-2; South Island week 3-4)
- Why NZ as a destination (specific named attractions, prior research)
- Why now ([WHY_NOW] verbatim)
Red flags to neutralise:
- First-time traveller from India with no prior international history:
add explicit return-trigger event
- Very long tourism stay (> 90 days): explain in detail; demonstrate
funds for full period
- Travel during India monsoon / festival season: acknowledge timing
================================================================
SUB-SECTION B — FAMILY VISIT (V4.10)
================================================================
Use if [V4_CATEGORY] = Family Visit.
Constraints:
- Parent of NZ-citizen visitor concession: up to 18 months in 36-month
period (V3.20). Parent of NZ-resident (not citizen): standard 9-in-18.
- INZ 1025 sponsor undertaking strongly recommended where NZ host can
sign
Narrative spine:
- NZ relative: name, NZ status (citizen / RRV holder), address
- Relationship evidence (birth certificate, marriage cert; apostilled)
- Why visit now ([WHY_NOW] — childbirth, illness, wedding, anniversary,
school graduation)
- Caregiving role (if applicable): hours per day, specific tasks
- Sponsor INZ 1025 details (or self-funded basis)
Red flags to neutralise:
- Long stays > 9 months without V3.20 concession: route to V3.20 or
shorten
- Multiple recent NZ visits: pattern of de facto residence — neutralise
with explicit return-trigger
- Parent visa application pending: disclose; flag relationship; do not
hide the parallel pathway
================================================================
SUB-SECTION C — BUSINESS VISITOR (V4.15)
================================================================
Use if [V4_CATEGORY] = Business Visitor.
Permitted under V4.15:
- Business consultations, negotiations, conferences, trade fairs
- Examining NZ goods for export
- Skill-based knowledge exchange (not productive work)
- Up to 3 months in any 12-month period (standard); multi-entry common
for repeat business visitors
NOT permitted (requires work visa):
- Receiving NZ employment income
- Hands-on installation / commissioning beyond 3 months
- Speaking-fee-paid keynotes (in some interpretations)
Narrative spine:
- NZ host business: name, NZ Companies Office number, role
- Indian employer (if applicable): NOC + return-employment confirmation
- Specific agenda: dates, locations, named meetings
- Source of income during visit: Indian salary continues; no NZ income
- Multi-entry justification (if applicable): frequency of trips next
12 months
Red flags to neutralise:
- Sole trader visiting "to explore market" with no concrete agenda:
add specifics or downgrade to tourism
- Long stays > 3 months on business visitor: switch to specific-
purpose work visa pathway
- Establishing NZ-resident business presence: route to investor /
entrepreneur visa instead
================================================================
SUB-SECTION D — MEDICAL TREATMENT (V4.25)
================================================================
Use if [V4_CATEGORY] = Medical Treatment.
Constraints:
- Must be self-funded (no public health reliance under V health
appendix; NZ$41,000 acceptable-cost threshold)
// 2026-05 - verify current acceptable cost threshold
- NZ specialist appointment letter + treatment plan required
- Stay length tied to treatment + recovery + follow-up
Narrative spine:
- Condition + Indian diagnostic history (AIIMS, Apollo, Fortis etc.)
- NZ specialist + hospital (name, address, appointment date)
- Treatment plan: stages, expected duration, follow-up
- Funds: estimated cost + 25% buffer evidenced
- Accompanying caregiver (if any): separate visitor visa filed in
parallel, V4.27 partner / parent-companion
Red flags to neutralise:
- Treatment available in India: explain specific reason for NZ
(specialist expertise, technology, second-opinion)
- Insurance gap: confirm self-pay
- Maternity-tourism implication: disclose pregnancy; affirm no
intent to deliver in NZ unless treatment-driven
================================================================
SUB-SECTION E — GROUP TOURISM / APPROVED DESTINATION STATUS (V4.30)
================================================================
Use if [V4_CATEGORY] = Group Tourism (ADS).
ADS framework:
- NZ has ADS arrangement with PRC (group tours from China) under V4.30
- For India: there is NO ADS arrangement; Indian clients use standard
V4.5 tourism or the Approved Adventure Tourism / Sport visit subset
// 2026-05 - verify whether India-NZ ADS-equivalent has been
introduced; as of latest review no operating ADS for India
- For ADS-eligible nationals: tour operator lodges INZ 1188 group
sponsorship; individual passengers' files attached
If client is a non-PRC national: flag that ADS does NOT apply and route
to V4.5 standard tourism narrative instead.
If client is PRC national:
- Tour operator name + INZ approval evidence
- Group itinerary
- Individual passenger declarations
- Sponsorship undertaking via INZ 1188
================================================================
SUB-SECTION F — SPECIAL SPONSORED VISITORS (PACIFIC FAMILY, V4.45)
================================================================
Use if [V4_CATEGORY] = Special Sponsored Visitors (Pacific family).
Eligibility:
- Applicant is from a Pacific country covered by the policy (Samoa,
Tonga, Kiribati, Tuvalu, certain others)
- Sponsor is NZ citizen / resident family member
- Sponsor signs INZ 1188A Pacific family sponsorship + bond may apply
Indian clients are NOT eligible for V4.45. If [V4_CATEGORY] is selected
for an Indian client, route back to V4.10 Family Visit narrative.
================================================================
