Loss or theft of New Zealand passport must be reported to local police. A copy of a police report or a reference number will be needed when applying for a new passport (depending on which country applicant is in, police reference numbers may be called different things - police report event numbers, crime reference numbers, etc.).

Visa applications can no longer be lodged with the New Zealand Embassy in Brussels, and instead must be sent to the New Zealand Visa Application Centre (VAC) in London.

Belgium, Bulgaria, Luxembourg, Romania and Sweden are visa waiver countries, meaning that citizens of these countries don't have to apply for a visa before travelling to New Zealand if:

• They are visiting for 3 months or less
• They are visiting for 6 months or less and are British citizens

A visa must be applied for if the travel is for medical consultation or treatment.
