Cook Islands Business Visa
Going to the Cook Islands on a short business trip of less than 31 days? There is no need to obtain a visa before you enter. Just make sure that you have proof of a confirmed onward or return ticket.
You can stay in the Cook Islands for up to 31 days. Thereafter, you can apply for an Extension permit. You will need to have a passport, proof of onward passage, adequate financial means of supporting stay, and suitable accommodation. You will need to file your application at the Cook Islands Immigration Department.
Principal Immigration Officer
Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Immigration
Extensions are granted on a month to month basis for up to 5 additional months (so up to a 6-months stay is possible in the Cook Islands. You need to pay a fee within 14 days of the the expiration of the Extension permit.)
Extensions are granted at two levels: Up to three months and up to five months (15 years and older). Children under 15 years of age are exempt from charges but must report to Immigration for official paperwork to be completed.
If you want to stay in the Cook Islands longer than 6 months, you need to apply from your home territory at a New Zealand Embassy or Consulate.
