New Zealand tries visa waiver to Chinese citizens travelling from Australia

Wellington, June 15 (UNI) 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.
