Do Spain passport holders need a visa for New Zealand?
Electronic travel authorization (ETA) required
Spain passport holders need an electronic travel authorization (ETA) for New Zealand, obtained online before travel.
Entry requirements for New Zealand
| Where to apply | Apply for the travel authorization — official government portal. Avoid third-party visa sites. |
|---|---|
| Passport validity | 3 months months beyond departure — Passport must not expire until 3 months after the date you plan to leave New Zealand (only valid-for-travel for NZ permanent residents). INZ operational manual A2.5 alternatively accepts validity of 1 month beyond intended departure if the issuing government has consular representation in New Zealand able to issue and renew travel documents (immigration.govt.nz/opsmanual/35025.htm). |
| Onward ticket | Often checked — Travellers may be asked for evidence they can meet visa/NZeTA conditions, such as a travel ticket out of New Zealand and proof of funds; INZ can refuse boarding or entry if onward arrangements are to a country the traveller has no right to enter. |
| Exemption | Holders of Australian permanent residents: visa free — Can travel to New Zealand without a visa but must request an NZeTA before travel; must hold a current (non-provisional) Australian Permanent Resident Visa or Resident Return Visa with travel conditions allowing return to Australia. |
Transiting through New Zealand?
| Transit via Auckland International Airport (NZeTA or Transit Visa) | Up to 24h — Citizens of visa-waiver and transit-visa-waiver countries holding a transit NZeTA; travellers of any nationality to/from Australia holding a current Australian visa plus an NZeTA; NZ and Australian citizens/PRs and valid NZ visa holders are exempt. Auckland International Airport is the only NZ airport with a transit area; transit passengers must stay airside for no more than 24 hours and cannot collect bags or stay in a hotel. All others need a Transit Visa; transiting any other NZ airport counts as visiting (visitor NZeTA/visa required). |
