We are traveling to NZ and it requires a visa. A websearch showed what looked like a government website. We applied. Payment of $129 was required. Others in our travel group got NZ issues visas for $53. It turns out there is an industry out there charging a premium to do services i.e., "editing your picture before submittal" and for that they get an upcharge. The terms and conditions are lengthy and basically say you agree to pay for their services. It is a rip off. Make sure you find the government site. If anyone asks you for a payment in excess of $53 it is a scam.
