SRI LANKA VISA FOR GREEK CITIZENS

Sri Lanka is famous for its stunning beaches, strong ocean waves, foggy hills, majestic elephants, elusive leopards, massive whales, rich past, flavorful tea, and friendly locals. Beach resorts and ecotourism are among the top choices for tourists. If you are a Greek citizen, you must obtain a visa to enter Sri Lanka as it is not included in the list of countries with visa-free entry. Nevertheless, it is commonly referred to as an electronic visa, also known as an e-visa or e-Visa for Sri Lanka. The Sri Lankan government introduced the Electronic Visa in 2012 to increase the number of international tourists visiting the country. The e-visa is available to citizens of Greece. Individuals from different nations, including those from Greece, are now able to request an Electronic Travel Authorisation before traveling to Sri Lanka for purposes such as tourism, business, or transit. Greek citizens have the option to select from a variety of Sri Lanka e-Visa/e-Visa types for their travel requirements. Greek nationals are allowed to travel to Sri Lanka for tourism, sightseeing, or medical reasons with a tourist eVisa. The e-visa for tourists remains valid for 06 months starting from the issuance date and permits a 30-day stay in the country upon arrival. Greek nationals can apply for a Business eVisa to attend business meetings, conferences, and corporate events in Sri Lanka. The Sri Lanka e-visa for business remains valid for 6 months starting from the day it is issued. Greek citizens holding this visa can enter the country multiple times and stay for up to 30 days from the day of arrival. Since Greek citizens can complete the Sri Lankan ETA application online, the process is quicker compared to applying for a regular visa. After completing and submitting the online form, which typically only takes a few minutes, the application is generally processed within a few minutes or hours. The authorized authorization is typically received within 1 to 2 business days with regular processing. Greek visitors can also use the Priority Service to receive their ETA in just 1 hour.

NEW ZEALAND ETA FOR GERMAN CITIZENS

New Zealand, situated in the southwestern Pacific Ocean, displays beautiful natural scenery. Consequently, it has emerged as one of the most sought-after travel spots globally. Obtaining a visa prior to visiting New Zealand is essential. Nonetheless, German residents have the opportunity to conveniently request a visa exemption via the New Zealand Electronic Travel Authority (NZeTA) on the internet. This permits citizens from more than 190 countries, such as Germany, to travel to New Zealand for purposes such as tourism, work, and transit. German nationals must obtain a NZeTA before traveling to New Zealand. Due to the NZeTA, German travelers can visit the country without needing a visa. Yet, German citizens must meet specific crucial criteria to travel to New Zealand visa-free. In 2019, a movement was initiated with the aim of eliminating the need for visas. The formal name of the New Zealand eTA is the 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. 

Types of Visas

• New Zealand Work Visas
• New Zealand Business Visas
• New Zealand Study Visas
• New Zealand Visitor Visas
• New Zealand Family Visas
• New Zealand Resident Visas

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 with a criminal record may be unsure if they qualify for a New Zealand eTA or visa. In spite of New Zealand's strict character requirements, people with a past criminal record may not be automatically prevented from entering the country. Foreign individuals looking to visit New Zealand must possess a strong ethical standing. People who have previous criminal records or provided false information are usually denied a visa unless they are granted an exemption due to their personal conduct. Unproven accusations and lawsuits alone are insufficient evidence to establish someone's bad reputation. People applying for visas must disclose if they are being investigated 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.
