High Commission of India
About the Business
Welcome to the webpage of the High Commission of India in Wellington, New Zealand! Our institution serves as the embassy and point of interest for India in New Zealand. Located at 72 Pipitea Street in the beautiful city of Wellington, our High Commission is also concurrently accredited to Samoa, Niue, the Cook Islands, and Vanuatu.
At the High Commission of India, we strive to foster strong diplomatic relations and promote cultural exchange between India and New Zealand. Our dedicated team, led by High Commissioner Neeta Bhushan, works tirelessly to facilitate cooperation and understanding between our two nations.
Throughout the year, we organize various events and celebrations to showcase the rich heritage and traditions of India. For instance, we recently celebrated India's Independence Day with a flag hoisting ceremony at our Chancery on August 15, 2023. We were honored to have H.E. Neeta Bhushan preside over this momentous occasion.
In addition to our diplomatic efforts, we also engage in bilateral meetings and collaborations with government officials and leaders from New Zealand and the Pacific Islands. Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, for example, participated in the 3rd India-Pacific Islands Cooperation (FIPIC) Summit in Papua New Guinea, where he had a productive meeting with New Zealand Prime Minister Chris Hipkins.
Our institution also plays an essential role in strengthening ties with Samoa, Niue, the Cook Islands, and Vanuatu. High Commissioner Neeta Bhushan has presented her credentials to notable leaders, including President Nikenike Vurobaravu of Vanuatu and Premier Dalton Tagelagi of Niue.
Aside from our diplomatic endeavors, we organize various cultural and educational events to promote Indian traditions and values. Recent events include a discourse by Shri M.K. Ramanujam ji, the celebration of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar's birth anniversary, and the 100th episode celebration of Mann ki Baat, a popular radio program by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi.
If you need any assistance or have inquiries regarding consular services, our dedicated team is here to assist you. You can reach us at our Wellington address or contact our Auckland office at Level 1, 133 Onehunga Mall.
Thank you for visiting our webpage, and we look forward to further strengthening the ties between India and New Zealand.

"Worst experience going with high communication of India. I send my passport for cancellation process two month ago. I haven't heard back any things also 5 times I send to mail. But no response. Seriously this system is out side of India is horrible. Even in India have better systems to process. Please take this seriously considering it's not good to represent our Indian work culture like this. Thanks Om prakash saudiyal"
"So far good experience with local team. I tried calling them for passport service and no one picked up but I did a call back option and guess what, I got a call back. Yes, I was happy that I got a call back, also the representative told me that there are not many who can call back since they don't have customer support in fact all of them are just there doing almost everything including processing the application. I know it always takes time so I had little expectation when I called but I got a good overall response. I hope things get better and better from here. Keep up the good work Team India. Thanks."
"I sent my passport over a month ago to surrender Indian citizenship and haven’t heard anything back. I called you over 20 times and emailed more than 2 times but still haven’t heard anything. Please get back to me or process my application. You guys are taking unnecessarily long time to process the basic application. All you have to do is just stamp it “ CANCEL “ and send it back to me. I paid for everything and even gave you the return ticket for courier bag, why is it taking so long? It should be done in a week. PLEASE PROCESS FASTER AND STOP TAKING UNNECESSARY TIME AND IMPROVE YOUR COMMUNICATION. Google: Please introduce "0" star rating as well because some organization/company doesn't deserve even 1 star. Those people who managed to talk to our world's best high commission employees on call should feel very lucky and must buy lotto ticket. They will surely win something.!! what is the time frame for cancellation of the passport. Can someone advise how to contact them ??"
"Cooperative and professional staff. Automatically attend and reply to the queries and applications. No need to call again and again and no need to chase on mail. Services are rendered within time frame automatically. Kudos the team, well done. We should encourage them and appreciate the good work, I noticed it with my own experience."
"The new High Commission of India building is incredible. It’s worth just walking passed to see how impressive it is. They even run free Yoga classes there - I hope they will have Indian language classes one day too. The customer service inside is good, the staff are polite, and visas are issued very quickly from my experiences. If you struggle to get answers on phone or email, there’s a complaint email address you can try on their website. But first make sure you read the website thoroughly as there’s a lot of information there. Jai Hind."
