→ Portugal visa for New Zealand citizens
As a New Zealand passport holder, you're fortunate to enjoy visa-free entry to Portugal, allowing for stays of up to 90 days within any 180-day period; this generous allowance makes it perfect for exploring the Algarve or discovering Lisbon's historic charm. While you won't need a visa for tourism, consider the extensive working holiday visa option if you plan a longer, immersive experience in Portugal. Be mindful of the currency difference, as you'll be using Euros (€) rather than New Zealand Dollars ($), and book flights well in advance, especially if traveling during the popular summer months of July and August, to secure the best fares.
