New Zealand passport: visa-free countries & requirements
115 visa-free destinations · 67 visa on arrival, eVisa, or ETA
Worldwide counts use the full VisaGlance dataset. This page focuses on 60 tracked top destinations; self-country rows are omitted where relevant.
New Zealand passport holders enjoy visa-free access to 116 countries and can obtain visas on arrival in another 46, making it nearly as convenient as Australia's. Kiwis consistently find their passport respected across developed nations, Asia-Pacific neighbors, and emerging leisure destinations alike.
Visa results start from a historical January 2025 base matrix with limited, documented corrections. A mapped destination-level source provides context only; it does not independently verify a passport-destination result.
