See http://www.immi.gov.au/visitors/index.htm
and http://www.immigration.govt.nz/migrant/stream/visit/ for requirements.

Don't use that national visas mob, who continually bore us to death on this
newsgroup with their incessant spam.

Yes - check with any of the Australian consulates in the US for all the
details.

Yes! But - you're elligible for an ETA - which yout travel agent will
normally obtain at no cost to you - or you yourself can get one - online
from the Immogration deprtemetn - instantly - for about $20.

True for OZ. You don't need a visa for NZ.

Thank you all. I read all the links. Please correct me if I'm wrong:

So I need either a visa or ETA to enter OZ if I want to visit.
Neither Visa or ETA is required to visit NZ.

My airline ticket will stop in OZ to continue its route to NZ. They
offer me the option to stay in Australia overnight (that means leaving
the airport, get a hotel, etc...)

So if I'll just stay at the aussie airport, I don't a visa or ETA. If
I take door#2, then I'd need an ETA pass because I'll actually be in
aussie territory..

Did I get it right?

Sounds right. Australia does allow people to stay in the international
zone if they are through pax unlikethe US where all must clear
immigration at first US stop even if connecting to an international
flight. I guess a check of you nationality would help us. OZ then NZ is
unusual if coing from North America where there are many Us NZ Aus
flights both Air NZ and Qantas do it. I am not familiar with a similar
itinerary that goes to Aus first as it is further. Are you flying in
from Asia or Europe then?

Yeap...that's why I was confused. You do that here in
the US.

True. At the time of booking I wasn't sure if I
wanted to take the extra day Qantas was offering. And also at that
time Qantas was offering a flight to NZ through Australia that was
cheaper than going straight to NZ on other airlines. Plus I've always
wanted to say that I've been to Australia --just for fun. My final
destination will be NZ for a few weeks though.
