New Zealand requires Bosnian citizens to obtain a visitor visa before entering the country. New Zealand does not have a visa-free arrangement with Bosnia and Herzegovina. The visitor visa allows stays of up to 90 days and the fee is approximately NZD 211 (around USD 170).
New Zealand is a popular destination for adventure tourism and natural scenery. Immigration New Zealand (INZ) manages visa applications online, and Bosnian citizens can apply through the Immigration New Zealand portal without needing to visit an embassy in most cases.
