New Zealand tries visa waiver to Chinese citizens travelling from Australia

WELLINGTON, June 15 : The New Zealand government announced a visa waiver  policy on Sunday for Chinese citizens travelling from Australia.

According to Immigration New Zealand, starting November 2025, New  Zealand will be trialing visa waiver status for Chinese passport holders  travelling from Australia with a valid Australian visitor, work,  student or family visa, allowing them to visit New Zealand for up to  three months with a New Zealand Electronic Travel Authority (NZeTA)  rather than applying for a visa.

This does not include people transiting  through Australia, and applicants will still need to meet the criteria  for an NZeTA.

Sunday’s visa waiver announcement is a trial policy for 12  months and is believed to boost New Zealand’s attractiveness as a  destination for Chinese tourists.
