New Zealand Visa Checker

New Zealand has its own entry rules, separate from any regional bloc โ€” select your passport below for a general indication, then confirm on the official immigration portal.

What every traveller needs to know

  • Most visa-exempt visitors must still apply online for an NZeTA (New Zealand Electronic Travel Authority) before departure, and pay the International Visitor Conservation and Tourism Levy (IVL).
  • Visa-exempt stays are generally capped at 90 days, though UK passport holders can typically stay up to 6 months โ€” check the exact allowance for your passport.
  • New Zealand has some of the strictest biosecurity rules in the world: hiking boots, camping gear, and food items must be declared on arrival โ€” non-declaration can mean an on-the-spot fine.
  • This checker gives a general indication only, not official immigration advice โ€” Immigration New Zealand (immigration.govt.nz) is the only authoritative source for your situation.

Always verify current requirements on the official Immigration New Zealand website (immigration.govt.nz) before booking flights โ€” rules can change without notice. udi.no ยท travel-europe.europa.eu
