chrishay Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 I'm moving to Australia early next year I have a NZ passport hoping to retire there so will not be buying a return ticket. I believe I do not need a visa to enter coming in from UK. Hoping someone can confirm this for me. Sent using Poms in Oz mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent using Poms in Oz mobile app Its not where you are travelling from, its which passport you are using. Holding and travellng on a NZ passport you do not need a visa in advance. Holding and travelling on a UK passport you do. Edited September 14, 2017 by Nemesis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parley Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Assuming you don't have a serious criminakl record you should be fine. We have been deporting a lot of kiwis lately who have criminal records or deemed a risk to Australia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaggieMay24 Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 You're actually granted a special category 444 visa as you clear passport control but you don't need to submit any application for this. The 444 visa is cancelled automatically if you leave the country and when you re-enter, you are granted a new one. https://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Visa-1/444- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
