Official source: - [New Zealand Parliamentary Counsel Office: Immigration Act 2009](https://legislation.govt.nz/act/public/2009/51/en/2026-02-27.pdf) - **Current official route — Australian citizens do not need a visa or NZeTA** (Visa-free) Australian citizens travelling on an Australian passport normally receive an Australian Resident Visa on arrival without an NZeTA. - The traveller must be an Australian citizen travelling on an Australian passport. - Entry and character requirements still apply. - Australian permanent residence without Australian citizenship is a separate status-based NZeTA class.
