NZ Travel Tips
Do visitors need a passport or visa to enter New Zealand?
All visitors to New Zealand must carry a passport that is valid for at least three months from the date when they intend to leave New Zealand. Visas are not required for most visitors who are staying less than three months, including Australia, America, Austria, Canada, Germany, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, The Netherlands, Singapore, Switzerland and the UAE. United Kingdom visitors are able to holiday for six months without requiring a visa. However, it is always best to check requirements on the New Zealand Immigration Service website. For stays longer than three months, a Visitor's Visa maybe required.
