Visa

Visa requirements are different according to each country. Visitors to New Zealand must hold a passport that is valid for at least three months after the planned departure date from New Zealand, or one month past the date you intend to leave if the government issuing your passport has consular representation in New Zealand. Visitors from visa-waiver countries are not required to obtain visas and can stay for up to three months.

Please check the web site of Immigration New Zealand for specific visa requirements.
