Schengen Visa

New Zealand citizens can travel to countries in the Schengen Area for short stays without needing a visa. Once you have entered the Schengen area, you can travel freely between the 29 member countries. This allows New Zealand passport holders to visit any of the 29 Schengen countries for up to 90 days within any 180-day period for tourism, business or family purposes. The 90-day limit applies to the entire Schengen Area, not per country. For more information on the Schengen Area, please click here(external link).

For New Zealanders looking to apply for a German visa or with other immigration queries, please visit the German Embassy in New Zealand(external link) for more information. The New Zealand Embassy in Berlin cannot provide advice or assistance on German immigration processes.

New Zealanders considering travel to the Embassy’s countries of accreditation should review the relevant travel advisories on the New Zealand Government’s SafeTravel website below:
