VISITOR’S VISAS
If you plan to visit New Zealand for a short period, you must apply
for a visitor’s visa, if applicable. Australian citizens don’t need a
visa to travel to New Zealand and nationals of certain countries
can use a ‘visa waiver scheme’, which permits them to travel to
New Zealand without a visitor’s visa and obtain a visitor permit
on arrival. Currently, countries that operate the visa waiver scheme
are: Andorra, Argentina, Austria, Bahrain, Belgium, Brazil, Brunei,
Canada, Chile, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hong
Kong, Hungary, Iceland, Indonesia, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan,
Korea (South), Kiribati, Kuwait, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg,
Malaysia, Malta, Mexico, Monaco, Nauru, the Netherlands, Norway,
Oman, Portugal, Qatar, San Marino, Saudi Arabia, Singapore,
Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Tuvalu, the
United Arab Emirates (UAE), the UK, Uruguay, the USA, Vatican
City and Zimbabwe.
Everyone else needs a visitor’s visa to travel to New Zealand
and you won’t even be allowed to board a plane to New
Zealand without one.
