Taiwan is being added to the list of countries whose nationals can enter New Zealand as visitors visa-free for up to three months.
Taiwanese passport-holders wishing to stay in New Zealand for more than three months, or to live, work, marry or undertake courses of study longer than three months will still need to apply for a visa in the usual way.
Taiwanese passport holders wishing to travel to New Zealand under the visa waiver programme must have the right to reside permanently in Taiwan and must satisfy New Zealand authorities upon arrival in New Zealand that they meet the standard visa admission requirements.

This decision has been taken as part of a wider review of New Zealand’s visa waiver assessment framework undertaken earlier this year. New Zealand’s visa waiver programme is designed to reduce costs and facilitate travel for tourists, short-term students and business people.
