Passports & Visas

Passports

A passport is required for travel to all countries, including Australia. If you are planning to travel and your passport is due to expire in less than a year, you may need to renew your passport. Some countries require a passport to be valid for at least six months beyond the date of entry to the country. You should also make sure you have at least one clear visa page in your passport for immigration stamps.

Tips for keeping your passport secure:

Make a note of your passport number, take a photocopy of the personal details page, and keep this separately from the passport.
keep your passport in a secure place
don’t carry your passport in your pocket
have an additional means of photo identification to carry with you
never hand your passport over as a guarantee

If your passport is lost or stolen overseas, report it to the police and then contact the nearest New Zealand Embassy.

Visas

It is always important to check if you need any visas for countries you will be visiting and transiting through before you travel. If you don’t, then you may be refused boarding of your flight or worse, refused entry on arrival.

A visa is a permit granted by an Embassy to allow entry to a foreign country. Whether or not you require a visa is normally determined by 3 things:

Your nationality
How long you intend to stay in the foreign country
Purpose of entry (e.g. tourism/business/study/ work etc)
