The NZ-UK FTA came into effect on 31 May 2023.
As part of this agreement, New Zealand has committed to facilitating the temporary entry to New Zealand of certain categories of business persons from the UK to ensure New Zealand meets its commitments under the FTA. This includes:
- business visitors
- intra-corporate transferees – Executives and Managers
- contractual services suppliers, and
- independent professionals.

Guidance for businesspersons applying under these categories is available on our website.
Business visitors
Business visitors who are UK citizens travelling to New Zealand as a business visitor, for example, to attend meetings, conferences or for training seminars or commercial transactions can travel to New Zealand without applying for a visa and be granted a visitor visa on entry as the UK is a visa waiver country. They should request an NZeTA (New Zealand Electronic Travel Authority) at least 72 hours before they travel.
