    An unexpected error occurred. Please try again later.

  2. Sorry, an error occurred.
    An unexpected error occurred. Please try again later.
    I have been getting this message for a week. Every time I open the App.
    Is this going to be fixed?

  3. Unexpected error always appears. I have tried for a week now & no success. Need to get this in operation ASAP as people need to apply for or retrieve their documents.

  4. The app does not work on the new iOS 17 ( I’m a developer on iOS beta 17.3

  5. Is the recurring problem “unexpected error occurred. Please try again later” ever solved? I don’t see a solution after restarting and reinstalling doesn’t work. I have this problem (and I already have a NZeta) now and my wife (want to submit an application) also (OS16.5.1).

  6. I have the app on my Ipad and my Iphone. When I try to open it, I get the message „An unexpected error occured“. I tried to delete and reinstall, I tried to shut down my device and boot it new. But nothing worked so far

  7. I have your app on both my Android phone and my Ipad mini. Each time I try to load the app it says “unexpected error occurred. Please try again later”. This happens on both my phone and my ipad. Please fix this issue.

  9. NZeTA app (apple) has an expected error and never work.Tried to use someone else’s mobile but the same error occured.

  10. an unexpected error occurred, please try again later. I just get this message every time I open the app, even after restarting my Iphone.

I have an electronic visa approved, and have successfully scanned passport and gone thru all the setup without a hitch, however, every time I try to go back into the NZeta app on my android phone I get the error message “an unexpected error occurred. Please try again later.” I have tried this over over a week period, have cleared cache, unintstalled app, re installed with the same results. I have also tried it on my wife’s android phone and have the exact same problems.

  12. scan passport failed and system error on android phones * tried three phones already still error

    Hello. My NZeTA was updated on 2/3/23 on my iPhone 12 plus running iOS 16.3. After it updated I tried to open it and received the message “an unexpected error occurred. Please try again later.” I have tried to access the app several times since to no avail. I have restarted the phone with no joy. My husband and I leave for New Zealand on 2/12/23 and the NZeTA was completed and accepted several months ago. Please advise.

  15. I completed my NZeTA application, but when my wife tries to apply (on the same phone), we get only a message that an unexpected error has occurred, and to try later. The error is no longer unexpected for us. What can we do?

  16. The app continually crashes saying “Sorry, an error has occurred. Please try again later.”

  17. I downloaded the app, however am unable to do anything as it just says ‘sorry, an error occurred’. Could you please advise?

  18. This app is useless. Can they please get their act together. It is so frustrating. I’ve only managed to get access to my NZeTA once and since then when I go into the app it just wont load. I’ve deleted it and reinstalled it but no improvement. I have an apple iphone 14 any ideas what I can do

  19. NZeTA won’t open

  20. I have recieved notice my NZeTA has been issued but cannot open the app on my phone. Keep getting “an unexpected error occurred. Please try again later.”

  21. The app won’t open on my iPhone.

  22. I have an Iphone and have been getting the message an unexpected error occurred. I thought it was due to limited space so I upgraded to a new Iphone and now the app doesnt find my visa at all, itbjust says begin process.

  23. I have a Motorola G Power 2021, and am getting the same message as quite a few folks here, “an unexpected error occurred, please try again later”… Any tips?

  24. I have an iPhone 11 Pro Max and recently downloaded your NZeTA app. For over 4 days it gives me a message that “an unexpected error occurred, please try again later”.
    It’s very frustrating to deal with. I had zero problems either the Australian ETA app last week.

  25. Downloads my passport but then will not take picture

  26. NZeta app gives error “Sorry we couldn’t complete the request” after selecting “Agree” on Privacy and terms of use page. This occurs on Motorola model (Xt2165-5). Works fine on older Motorola XT1609 and Motorola G Plus ….

  27. NZeta loading nonstop after payment is entered. retrying to apply and an error message saying unable to process.

  28. Used NZ VISA company by mistake instead of official site on 30 September. They have compromised application by making 2 applications using the same passport number. The application is completely stuck and every time I try to check status get message “no results found” What do I do now? NZ VISA are not doing anything to help sort out problem

  29. not responding for 2 hours now; also no email confirmation of paid application

  30. Can’t get into app get error “An unexpected error occurred. Please try again later. Been trying for 3 days. Tried using an iPad, using os 15.5 and Samsung Flip 3, using Android 12.

  31. Very difficult to take a picture tried it on many different phones and many different light situations backgrounds and clothes different adjustment it finally after, I’m not exaggerating, around 25 times it took it. Very frustrating almost gave up. Also would not let me add my spouse at the “add another traveler box” . It would go to a privacy statement and stay there. Very frustrating

  32. I scan my passport fine. Then the take a photo step says open my eyes and then crashes after 30 seconds.

    I am trying to add another traveller but the proceed button is zoomed out of the screen and there is no way to reach it

  34. ‘Sorry an error occured. Sorry we couldn’t complete the request.’ Error received after hitting ‘Begin’. I have checked privacy and Marta app has permission to use my camera. Using into power g phone.

  35. Hi, I have trouble with scanning my passport. The scanner catches the two bottom lines but nothing happens after that. The only thing that sometimes is that I am supposed to avoid reflections, so I’ve tried it in different rooms with different lighting. Nothing changed after reinstalling and restarting the phone either
