A reminder to all New Zealanders travelling to Europe’s Schengen area that visa-free access for New Zealand passport holders intending to stay for more than 3 months in the Schengen area can be complicated.
Before travelling you should check with your travel agent or the embassy/consulate of the countries you plan to visit to get the latest update on visa requirements.
