New Zealand citizens do not need to apply for a visa before coming to Australia. If you are eligible, we will grant you a
Special Category visa (subclass 444) (SCV) when you arrive.
If you want to stay in Australia permanently, you can choose to apply for a
permanent visa, if eligible.
Becoming an Australian permanent resident may allow you to access additional
entitlements.
We no longer issue Certificate of Status for New Zealand Citizens in Australia (CSNZCA). Centrelink no longer requires a CSNZCA to determine your residence status.
