Visa requirements for New Zealand citizens
Encyclopedia
New Zealand citizens travelling on New Zealand passport
s are permitted to enter a number of foreign countries without the need to apply for a visa prior to arrival under certain conditions.
Where visa-free access is permitted or a visa-on-arrival facility is available, such access is not necessarily a right, and admission is at the discretion of border enforcement officers. Many foreign countries require New Zealanders engaging in activities other than tourism, including unpaid work, to apply for a visa or work permit. However, a few countries, such as France and Germany, do permit New Zealanders to work during their visa-exempt stay.
According to the Henley Visa Restrictions Index 2011, New Zealand citizens can travel to 166 countries visa-free / with visa on arrival.
Normally, Schengen states permit Annex II foreign nationals (i.e. those who are visa-exempt) to stay visa-free in the Schengen area as a whole - rather than each country individually - for a period not exceeding 3 months every 6 months. However, the New Zealand Government has signed bilateral visa waiver agreements with a number of the individual countries who are Schengen signatories, which allow New Zealand citizens to spend up to three months in the relevant country, without reference to time spent in other Schengen signatory states. Since these agreements continue to remain valid despite the implementation of the Schengen agreement
, the European Commission
has confirmed that in practice if New Zealanders visit Schengen countries which have signed these types of bilateral agreements with New Zealand, then the terms of these agreements override the conditions normally imposed as a result of the Schengen visa exemption agreement.
New Zealand has individual bilateral visa waiver agreements with the following Schengen signatories:
Consequently, New Zealand citizens can visit the above Schengen states visa-free for periods of up to 3 months in each country. If, however, a New Zealand citizen then visits another Schengen state not included in the list above, the restriction of no more than 3 months out of a 6-month period in the Schengen area as a whole applies. Therefore, if a New Zealand citizen has already spent 3 months in one or more of the above Schengen countries, any visits to another Schengen country without a bilateral visa waiver agreement with New Zealand may lead to difficulties with local law enforcement agencies (e.g. being accused of having overstayed upon leaving a Schengen country which is not in the list above).
For entry into Hungary
, even if a New Zealand citizen has already spent up to 3 months in other parts of the Schengen area, he/she can enter Hungary and remain there for up to a further 90 days visa-free. But following this period, if 3 months has already spent elsewhere in the Schengen area, he/she must then leave the Schengen area from Hungary and go directly to a country outside the Schengen area (which in practice obliges one to travel by air). New Zealand citizens who wish to stay in Hungary for more than 90 days can apply for a residence card from the regional directorate of the Office of Immigration and Nationality within 90 days of arrival and do not need to obtain a residence permit prior to arrival in Hungary (unlike most other non-EEA and Swiss foreign nationals).
Germany
permits New Zealand citizens intending to stay in the country for over 3 months to apply for a residence permit after arrival (whilst for many other non-EEA
and Swiss citizens, a residence permit and visa for a stay over 3 months must be applied for in advance at a German foreign mission).
The Netherlands exempts New Zealand citizens from the requirement to obtain a Schengen category "D" visa (the visa issued for long term stays over 90 days, known in Dutch as the "MVV" visa) - an exemption which goes beyond the visa waiver afforded to most other non-EEA and non-Swiss foreign nationals who are usually only given a visa waiver of up to 90 days in a 180 day period.
Although a Schengen signatory state, Switzerland
offers New Zealand citizens a more generous visa exemption than that which Schengen rules normally provide for. Not only are New Zealand citizens able to spend 3 months visa-free in Switzerland, they can also stay for over 3 months (i.e. without time limit) without the need to apply for a visa. However, at a cantonal
level, individual cantonal migration authorities may impose further requirements, such as the need to register for a residence permit, if a New Zealand citizen wants to take up employment or reside for over 3 months, in which case a residence permit must be applied for before entry to Switzerland.
However, even though, strictly speaking, he/she is not required to apply for a visa if he/she satisfies all of the above criteria, a New Zealand citizen who falls into any of the following categories is strongly advised by the UK Border Agency
to apply for a visa prior to travelling to the UK:
New Zealand citizens who were born before 1983 and qualify for the right of abode
are able to live and work in the United Kingdom indefinitely.
New Zealand citizens with a grandparent born either in the United Kingdom
, Channel Islands
or Isle of Man
at any time or in the Republic of Ireland
on or before 31 March 1922 can apply for UK Ancestry Entry Clearance
, which enables them to work in the UK for 5 years, after which they can apply to settle indefinitely.
New Zealand citizens aged 18 to 30 can apply for a Youth Mobility Scheme visa which allows them to pursue a working holiday
in the UK for 2 years.
New Zealand citizens can study in the United Kingdom for up to 6 months as a student visitor without the need to apply for a visa as long as they do not work during this period. If attending a course which is longer than 6 months, New Zealand citizens can apply for a Tier 4 student visa in New Zealand or in the UK merely by completing the application form, quoting the Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) reference number issued to them by their UK education provider and presenting evidence of care arrangements (if under the age of 18); they do not need to submit proof of sufficient funds, qualifications or English language ability (which most other foreign nationals need to demonstrate) as long as the UK education provider is recognised as a 'Highly Trusted' sponsor by the UK Border Agency
. However, the UK Border Agency
reserves the right to request such evidence in particular situations and New Zealand citizens must still present such evidence if applying for a Tier 4 student visa outside New Zealand or the UK. New Zealand citizens who have been issued with a Tier 4 student visa (but not those who are in the UK as student visitors) can work in the UK for up to 20 hours per week during term-time and without time restrictions outside term-time.
, New Zealand citizens are granted a Special Category Visa
