Visa requirements for New Zealand citizens
In addition, a New Zealand citizen who has already spent up to 3 months in other parts of the Schengen Area can enter Hungary and remain there for up to a further 90 days visa-free.
New Zealand citizens aged 18–30 (or 18–35 in some cases) are able to obtain a national long-stay 'D' visa and/or a residence permit from 19 Schengen member states on the basis of a working holiday (see below).
Austria allows New Zealand citizens to enter the country without a visa and to apply for a temporary residence permit or a 'Red-White-Red Card' (issued to permanent immigrants) after arrival, rather than in advance through an Austrian embassy/consulate.
[427][428] This is particularly useful as there is no Danish embassy or consulate in New Zealand that accepts residence or work permit applications - the nearest one is in Canberra in Australia.
[430] New Zealand citizens intending to stay and work in Estonia for more than 6 months can apply for a temporary residence permit for employment after arrival in the country.
[432][433] Hungary allows New Zealand citizens who wish to stay for more than 90 days in the country to apply for a residence card from the regional directorate of the Office of Immigration and Nationality within 90 days of arrival and do not need to obtain a residence permit prior to arrival in Hungary (unlike most other non-EEA and Swiss foreign nationals).
New Zealand citizens aged 18 to 30 can apply for a Youth Mobility Scheme visa which allows them to pursue a working holiday in the UK for 2 years.
New Zealand citizens can study in the United Kingdom for up to 6 months as a student visitor without the need to apply for a visa as long as they do not work during this period.
Such restrictions may be health related or impose additional documentation requirements on certain classes of people for diplomatic or political purposes.

[462] Some countries, including Australia, Canada, Fiji, New Zealand and the United States,[463] routinely deny entry to non-citizens who have a criminal record, while others impose restrictions depending on the type of conviction and the length of the sentence.
[469] Fingerprinting countries/regions include Afghanistan,[470][471] Argentina,[472] Brunei, Cambodia,[473] China,[474] Ethiopia,[475] Ghana, Guinea,[476] India, Japan,[477][478] Kenya (both fingerprints and a photo are taken),[479] Malaysia upon entry and departure,[480] Mongolia, Saudi Arabia,[481] Singapore, South Korea,[482] Taiwan, Thailand,[483] Uganda,[484] the United Arab Emirates and the United States.
