New Zealand visa requirements by nationality
Whether you need a visa for New Zealand depends on the passport you hold. Find your passport in the table below for the exact rule, the stay length, the passport validity required, and any arrival registration you have to complete separately.
New Zealand sets its own entry requirements, and most visitors arrange permission before departure rather than on arrival.

Good to know about New Zealand
New Zealand and Australia are separate entries. Permission for one does not cover the other, so a trip taking in both needs each in its own right.
