重要ポイント

  • Visa-waiver visitors need an approved NZeTA before travel; allow 72 hours. The separate NZ Traveller Declaration is free and required for entry.
  • Declare all food, plants, animal products and used outdoor gear. Clean boots before packing; undeclared risk goods can lead to a NZD 400 instant fine.
  • Drive on the left. For arrivals from 1 November 2026, overseas driving licences are usable for 12 months, subject to licence and translation requirements.

入国とビザ

US, EU and UAE visa-waiver visitors normally need an NZeTA for visits up to 3 months; eligible UK visitors up to 6 months. Other passports normally need a Visitor Visa. Chinese citizens travelling from Australia with an eligible Australian visa may qualify for an NZeTA. Cruise passengers and Australian residents have separate eligibility rules.
