New Zealand Transit Visa Policy

NewZealandAirport.com  »  New Zealand Transit Visa Policy

If you’ll be passing through New Zealand as a transit passenger, you’ll need to apply for a Transit Visa before you travel. You can only transit New Zealand through Auckland International Airport. Whether you need a transit visa, check on the New Zealand Visa Policy.

Eligible passengers who are transiting through Auckland International Airport for less than 24 hours, and not leaving the transit area of the airport, do not need a Transit Visa. Eligible passengers are:

• Visa-waiver country citizens
• All passengers whose next legal destination is Australia
• Citizens of one of the following countries, which are exempt from transit visa requirements: Bahamas, Bermuda, Bolivia, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Indonesia, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Nauru, Palau, Panama, Papua New Guinea, Paraguay, Peru, Philippines, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Thailand, Tonga, Tuvalu, Vanuatu and Venezuela.

To transit New Zealand on your way to Australia without first applying for a Transit Visa, you’ll need to have a valid Australian visa (if you’re not already waived from having a Transit Visa).
