Visa waiver for Mauritius and Seychelles nationals

From 21 November 2016, nationals of Mauritius and the Seychelles will no longer need a visitor visa to travel to New Zealand for up to three months at a time.

With this visa waiver status, people can holiday and sightsee, visit family and friends and enjoy New Zealand as a visitor without the need to apply for a visa.

Health and character requirements still apply to all non-New Zealand visitors and people from visa waiver countries are still required to provide travel tickets or evidence of onwards travel arrangements and evidence of funds to support themselves while in New Zealand.
