Europe short term tourist visa or Schengen visa for short term travel to Europe
If you're a resident of New Zealand from a country that requires a Schengen visa, this page will walk you through the application process.
The Schengen Area comprises 27 European countries that have abolished internal border controls, allowing for free movement within the zone. A Schengen visa grants you entry to these countries for tourism, business, or short-term stays (up to 90 days in a 180-day period).
Citizens of countries not on the Schengen Area's visa-exempt list must apply for a visa, even if they are residents of New Zealand. Always verify your country's status on the official websites of the relevant Schengen member state's consulate or embassy.
