If you are a Malaysian citizen or from Denmark, there is good news for you! New Zealand has upgraded the visa requirements for citizens of both countries. Here is all that you need to know about this change and how it might affect your application process.
What is a New Zealand Visa?
If you are a Malaysian citizen and you want to visit or stay in New Zealand for longer than 3 months, then you will need to obtain a New Zealand visa. A visa is an official document that allows you to enter and stay in a particular country for a specific period of time. To apply for a New Zealand visa, visit the New Zealand Immigration website and complete the online application form. You will need to provide your passport details, travel dates and the purpose of your visit. The fee for a New Zealand visa is NZ$100. NEW ZEALAND VISA FOR MALAYSIAN CITIZENS
Getting a New Zealand Visa
If you are a Malaysian citizen, you can apply for a New Zealand visa if you want to visit or live in New Zealand. The visa application process is straightforward and can be done at any Australian or New Zealand embassy or consulate. However, if you are a Danish citizen, things are a bit different. Firstly, you will need to obtain a residence permit in New Zealand before applying for a visa. Secondly, the visa application process is more complicated than for Malaysians because there are additional requirements that must be met.
Malaysian Citizens and Danish Citizens
Malaysian citizens and Danish citizens can now enjoy visa-free travel to New Zealand. This new arrangement was announced by the two countries on September 1, 2018. The visa-free travel will commence from October 1, 2018.
Both Malaysian and Danish nationals need a passport valid for at least six months after the end of the period of stay in New Zealand. They must also have a return ticket or be able to show that they will have enough money to return home if their stay in New Zealand is not extended. NEW ZEALAND VISA FOR DANISH CITIZENS
Useful Information for Malaysians and Danes traveling to New Zealand
New Zealand is a beautiful country with stunning landscapes and friendly people. It is also one of the most welcoming countries in the world. The visa requirements are quite simple for Malaysian citizens and Danish citizens, but there are still a few things you should know in advance to make your stay as smooth as possible.
First, both Malaysian citizens and Danish citizens need a valid passport to enter New Zealand. However, nationals of other countries who hold an Australian, British or Irish passport can also visit New Zealand without a visa if they are staying within the general visitor limits of NZ (ie no longer than 3 months in any 12 months).
Second, you don’t need a tourist visa to visit New Zealand if you are a Malaysian citizen or Danish citizen – all you need is your passport. However, if you plan on staying longer than three months, you will need to apply for a visitor visa at an embassy or consulate in your home country. For more information on visas and how to apply, please consult the Immigration New Zealand website [1].
Third, when arriving in New Zealand by air, you will need to show your passport and airline ticket to immigration officials. If you are travelling by sea, you will need to show proof of onward travel (ie tickets) and evidence that you have sufficient funds to cover your expenses while in New Zealand (ie bank statement).
Finally, remember that New Zealand is an alcohol-free country so be sure to bring enough supplies with you
