Do Ireland passport holders need a visa for New Zealand?

How we checked

On 10 Oct 2026 we checked this rule against the official sources of New Zealand, chiefly Immigration New Zealand. Two independent checks reached the same result.

Before the check, public visa data (as of 17 Feb 2026) said: electronic travel authorization, up to 90 days. The official source shows: electronic travel authorization, up to 3 months per entry, 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.
