Your journey from New Zealand to Chad, as a passport holder, is facilitated by an e-visa system, making the application process convenient. Once approved, you can typically enjoy a stay of up to 30 days, with the visa costing approximately $100 USD. Unlike many visa processes, Chad's e-visa system for New Zealanders is relatively new, having been implemented in 2022. When planning your travel, be aware of the significant time zone difference, as Chad is 11 hours behind New Zealand, and consider that French is the official language, though some basic Arabic phrases can also be helpful in N'Djamena.
