New Zealand, VISA, transit visa?

Booked flight for my parents in Febuary for just under a month staying with my Uncle.
Easy enough now the confusing parts:-
1. Stopping in Dubai for 4 hours to change flight (both ways), do they need a transit visa? If so can anyone provide how to apply for one?
2. Stopping in Australia for 1hr 30mins (both ways), transfit visa needed? If so can anyone provide how to apply for one?
3. As they are in New Zealand for roughly a month, do they need any visa? If so can anyone provide how to apply for one?
Any other need to know information would be grateful also, thank you.

I'd suggest as a first step that you do a search for the UK Embassy/High Commission websites for each of the countries which will hopefully contain the answers to your questions.0

It would be useful to know what country's passport they travel on."If you think it's expensive to hire a professional to do the job, wait until you hire an amateur." -- Red Adair0

Assuming british passports then no visas required for Dubai, in Australia it will depend on how long your transit it (see http://www.immi.gov.au/faqs/Pages/do-i-need-a-visa-to-transit-through-australia.aspx ) and you can stay in NZ for up to 3 months visa free for recreational reasons0

I believe it's six months.

Hi, I am off to NZ the end of the month for 4 weeks to see family and I am travelling via Dubai and Oz. Visas are not needed as they will be in transit and they won't need one for NZ either as their stay is less than 6 months I have been before and it is a beautiful country, hope they enjoy their stay.
It is a very long flight though, not something I look forward to. Hope they will be able to sleep, I usually struggle but it will be worth it.0
