NZeTA: NZ$117 in the app, NZ$123 online
New Zealand's Electronic Travel Authority is required for visitors from visa waiver countries arriving by air or by cruise ship. Its price has two parts: the NZeTA itself, cheaper in the official app, and the International Visitor Conservation and Tourism Levy (IVL) of NZ$100, paid in the same transaction.
