Cost of a trip from Moscow to New Zealand: a 14-day worksheet
Build the budget around travel dates, party size and chosen services. The worksheet below contains fields for current quotes and checked examples of specific fees and activities. An undated rouble total without exchange and booking assumptions does not price your trip.

Should the whole Visitor Visa cost be multiplied by party size?
No. Multiply the application fee and immigration levy by applications, then add IVL per liable person. An eligible shared family case may use one application for a couple.
Trip length and quantities
The 14-day example means arrival on day 1 and departure on day 14: 13 nights in New Zealand. International travel before arrival and after departure is outside these 14 days. Recalculate accommodation if you add an overnight connection.
A couple usually shares one room and one car booking, while food quantities must cover both people. State nights, hire days and ticket quantities rather than multiplying every row by party size.
Visa payments
Use applicable cost per application × application count + applicable IVL per liable person. Eligible partners and dependent children can share a general Visitor Visa application without another application fee or immigration levy. Group Visitor Visa rules differ.
The Band C example in the May 2026 Fees Guide uses NZ$300 application fee + NZ$41 immigration levy + NZ$100 IVL per liable person. Solo: NZ$441. An eligible couple sharing one application: NZ$541. This assumes no fee exemption; check citizenship, application country and category in the INZ fee tool.

Transport, accommodation and food
Save the airline quote with baggage and connection conditions. Check room prices, taxes, parking and cancellation. Car costs should include insurance, fuel, parking, one-way return charges and any ferry.
Woolworths is the current name of the former Countdown chain. InterCity serves National Park village beside Tongariro, but individual tracks may need an onward shuttle. Compare it with driving using your actual schedule.

Activities and camping
As checked on 15 October 2026, Hobbiton Signature Tour costs NZ$130 for adults aged 18 and over, with published validity to 31 March 2028. It begins near Matamata on the North Island; include access and tickets for the party. Glacier landings and guided ice hikes are different products.
Booked campsites and freedom-camping locations have different rules. A bed in a vehicle is not permission to camp anywhere. Check current self-containment certification, DOC rules and local restrictions.
