How much money should I show in the bank for a New Zealand visa?

The amount required depends on the visa type and duration of stay. For visitor visas, the general rule is at least NZD 400 per month if accommodation is prepaid, or NZD 1000 per month if not. For student visas, a minimum of NZD 20,000 per year must be proven for living expenses. These figures can be updated, so the official INZ website should be checked before applying.
