New Zealand Embassy & Consulates in the United Kingdom

The New Zealand embassy is in London, the capital of the United Kingdom, at Haymarket 80, SW1Y 4TQ London. The head of mission on record is Hamish Cooper. Its phone number and website are on its page.

New Zealand also has a consulate general in Belfast; career consulates of this kind usually renew passports and take visa applications for their region.

New Zealand has 3 honorary consulates in the United Kingdom, in Glasgow, Edinburgh and Belfast; an honorary consul offers first help and passes documents on, but visas and passports are issued elsewhere.

British citizens do not need a visa for New Zealand, but they need an electronic travel authorisation (ETA) before departure; it covers stays of up to 180 days. The application is made online on the official portal of New Zealand, not at the New Zealand embassy.

In return, the United Kingdom has 2 missions in New Zealand, including its embassy in Wellington.
