❓ What is a visa waiver country?

✈️ If your passport is from one of the 61 countries and territories on Immigration New Zealand's visa waiver list, you can travel here for a short visit without applying for a visitor visa first.

❗ A few things people often miss:

✈️ You still need an NZeTA before you board a plane to New Zealand. A NZeTA is not a visa - it simply is a travel authority which allows you to board a plane to NZ

📅 Most visa waiver passports get up to 3 months. UK passport holders get 6. Australian citizens need neither a visa nor an NZeTA.

🚫 Visa waiver is for visiting only. You cannot work on it, and study is limited to three months.

💁 Planning to stay longer, work, or bring the family? That is a different visa entirely, and it pays to get the pathway right from the start.

💵 New Zealand has a median wage threshold of $35 per hour to be eligible for residence

💵 Your pay rate can also determine whether or not you are able to sponsor a partner or children for visas in New Zealand so this is an important factor to look at when applying for roles.

💵 A pay rate which allows you to apply for a work visa, may not make you eligible for residence.
