New Zealand is a country located in the Pacific Ocean, outside of Europe, and is not a member of the Schengen Area. It has its own immigration and border control policies, and citizens of Schengen countries require a visa to enter New Zealand.
However, New Zealand has a visa waiver program with some Schengen countries, which allows citizens of those countries to enter New Zealand without a visa for a certain period of time (usually up to 90 days). The countries that have a visa waiver agreement with New Zealand include:
- Austria
- Belgium
- Czech Republic
- Denmark
- Finland
- France
- Germany
- Greece
- Hungary
- Italy
- Luxembourg
- Netherlands
- Poland
- Portugal
- Slovakia
- Slovenia
- Spain
- Sweden
It's worth noting that even if a Schengen country has a visa waiver agreement with New Zealand, citizens of that country may still need to meet certain requirements, such as having a valid passport, proof of onward travel, and sufficient funds, in order to enter New Zealand.
