Do I need a visa to transit through New Zealand?

Asked 6 months ago
Yes, you may need a visa to transit through New Zealand, depending on your citizenship and travel plans. Passengers from visa waiver countries, like the United States and Canada, generally do not require a visa if they have a transit itinerary, valid passport, and are not staying for longer than 24 hours. However, if you are from a country that is not eligible for visa-free transit, such as China or India, you will need a transit visa. It is essential to check New Zealand's immigration website or consult Air New Zealand directly before your travel to confirm the specific visa requirements for your nationality and transit plans.
