Travellers from Pacific Island nations will find it easier to travel in New Zealand after changes to visa rules.
Movement from much of the Pacific to either Australia and New Zealand is currently expensive and onerous, with most citizens of most countries required to apply for visitor visas, and wait for their approval.
On Friday, NZ announced a pair of changes that will make travel easier: waiving visa requirements for nationals of Pacific Islands Forum member countries who already have Australian visas, and extension of visitor visas from 12 to 24 months.
