Filipinos passing through NZ visa-exempt—DFA

Published by rudy Date posted on December 8, 2009

MANILA, Philippines—Starting November 30, Filipinos transiting through New Zealand en route to other destinations have been exempt for securing transit visas, the Department of Foreign Affairs said in a statement.

The said the information was relayed by the embassy of New Zealand in Santiago to the embassy of the Philippines in Santiago.

Up until then, Filipinos transiting New Zealand (for instance changing planes) needed to hold a transit visa.

This requirement did not apply from 30 November.

From that date, Filipinos won’t need a visa to transit New Zealand if they remain in the airport and their travel bookings show a stopover of no more than 24 hours.

However, if they plan to stop over for more than 24 hours or plan to leave the airport, they must apply for a visitor visa.–INQUIRER.net
