How we checked
On 10 Oct 2026 we checked this rule against the official sources of New Zealand, chiefly Immigration New Zealand (Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment). Two independent checks reached the same result.
Before the check, public visa data (as of 17 Feb 2026) said: visa-free. The official source shows: freedom of movement, and that is what this page shows.
How verification works and what each status means: methodology.
Before you travel
Entry rules change, sometimes without notice, and border officials make the final decision. Confirm the requirements for your trip with the official immigration website or embassy of New Zealand. This page covers short visits for tourism or business.
