Ukraine to New Zealand
How long can I stay, and can I extend it?
You may stay in New Zealand for up to 90 days without a visa. Stays longer than 90 days require a visa.
Can children travel on this route?
If you are under 18, you must travel with a letter of parental consent. That letter of parental consent must be notarised.
What should I do before I travel?
Before you travel, make sure your ordinary Ukraine passport is valid for at least six months beyond your date of entry into New Zealand.
Arrange a return or onward ticket and a hotel booking (or other proof of accommodation) because you may be asked at the border to show these. Also prepare evidence of sufficient funds for your stay.
Travel insurance is recommended but it is not required for entry.
