freinds daughter is going to new zealand in nov 08.she will be staying with boyfreinds family,who have just emmergrated to new zealand. we thing the daughter is planning to stay longer than her ticket is booked for.what type is visa will she need?

A 16 year old will only be able to get a tourist visa, or if she is from the UK and is staying for fewer than 6 months, she doesn’t need a visa. If she is from not from the UK, but is from a visa free country, she can stay for 3 months without a visa. See: http://www.immigration.govt.nz/migrant/stream/visit/visitors/quickcheck.htm.

For other circumstances (longer stay, non-visa free country) see: http://www.immigration.govt.nz/migrant/stream/visit/

Even if she doesn’t need a visa for her designated stay, if she stays on beyond the departure date she has given to immigration upon arrival, she will be in breach of her visiting conditions.

EDIT:
One other point. As she’s a minor, the NZ immigration authorities will need to be satisfied that she will be adequately cared for in a safe situation. She should take a certified document from her parent or guardian giving permission for her to stay with the family in question. It should include a date up to which the permission is valid.
