New Zealand visa for Pakistani citizens
Visa required
🇵🇰 Pakistani passport → 🇳🇿 New Zealand: yes — a visa arranged in advance.
How it works
You'll need a visa arranged in advance through the embassy or consulate (or an authorised visa centre): application form, passport photos, fee, and often proof of funds, accommodation and onward travel. Start early — processing can take weeks.
Heads-up: New Zealand commonly asks for proof of onward travel (airline check-in (NZeTA travellers)).

Beyond New Zealand: the Pakistan passport
The 🇵🇰 Pakistan passport ranks #196 of 199 worldwide, entering 32 destinations without a visa arranged in advance (see the world ranking).
Also visa-free on the Pakistan passport: 🇻🇺 Vanuatu (120 days), 🇫🇲 Micronesia (30 days), 🇩🇲 Dominica (180 days) — all 32 open destinations.
Going the other way? New Zealander citizens visiting Pakistan need no visa, but an eTA (online authorisation) is required.
