How this access rule is documented

    • This ordinary visitor class excludes diplomatic, official, refugee, stateless, crew, and other special travel documents.
    • Some China and Pacific passport holders have a tightly conditioned NZeTA route only when travelling from Australia with an eligible Australian visa.
    • Cruise and cargo passengers and current individual or temporary waivers are separate conditional cases.

  2. Current official routeVisa required

    Some visa-required passports have a conditional Australia-to-New Zealand NZeTA route

    These passport holders remain visitor-visa-required unless travelling from Australia with a qualifying current Australian visa and NZeTA.

    • Travel must be from Australia on the listed passport with an eligible Australian visa valid at check-in.
    • The New Zealand visit must be no longer than three months and cannot include medical consultation or treatment.
    • The traveller needs an NZeTA before travel; if any condition is unmet, a Visitor Visa is required.
