SCHENGEN VISA
When traveling to the Schengen Area, foreign citizens typically need to apply for a Schengen short-stay visa, which allows for travel throughout the Schengen Area for up to 90 days within any 180-day period, with multiple entries and exits.
However, New Zealand citizens are exempt from this visa requirement and do not need a visa for short stays of less than 90 days within a 180-day period. To benefit from this waiver, New Zealand citizens must:
-
Not Intend to Work: The visit must be for tourism, business, or other non-working purposes.
-
Hold a Valid Passport: The passport must be valid for at least 3 months beyond the date of return.
-
Have a Return Ticket: Proof of onward travel is required.
Supporting Documents: While a visa is not required, border officials in Schengen countries may request additional documentation, such as an invitation letter, proof of accommodation, and a return or round-trip ticket.
Visa Requirement for Other Passport Holders: All other passport holders must apply for a Schengen visa prior to entering the Schengen region.
