新西兰人来华签证如何办理？How do New Zealanders apply for a visa to China?

新西兰广播网11月26日报道，中国于今年7月1日宣布对新西兰持普通护照人员给予15天单方面免签入境政策，11月22日又宣布将免签停留期限延长至30日。此举受到新西兰旅游业和其他行业的欢迎。

新西兰旅游管理公司Flight Centre Travel Group的航空和产品经理詹妮弗·斯台普斯表示，近几个月以来，其公司收到的赴华询问数量大幅增加，今年以来通过该公司赴华旅客同比增长43%，预计这一趋势将持续到明年，“新西兰旅客现在可在中国停留更长时间，这意味着他们可以游览更多的地方。这为人们在一次旅行中探索不同地区提供了选择”。

新西兰中国旅行社总经理李瑞秦表示，自从免签政策实施以来，赴华人数明显增加。除了不用担心签证问题，去中国旅行过的人还对中国的高铁、酒店设施和服务等印象深刻，“我们收到了很多非常好的反馈，大家都在计划明年再去”。

奥克兰商会首席执行官布里奇斯表示，持有更长免签能节省开支，给人们提供方便，对于像他一样正在中国出差的人来说，通过机场前往中国各地是一个非常轻松、无缝连接的体验。新西兰政府智库“新中关系促进委员会”主席麦康年表示，这项政策表明中国热衷于与其他国家进行接触，将帮新西兰人做出与访问中国相关的决策。

报道称，新西兰海关统计数据显示，今年7月1日至11月24日期间，有31152名新西兰护照持有者离开新西兰直接前往中国，与去年同期的20458人相比有大幅增加。

On November 26th, the New Zealand Broadcasting Network reported that China announced on July 1st this year that it would grant a 15 day unilateral visa free entry policy to New Zealand passport holders. On November 22nd, it also announced an extension of the visa free stay period to 30 days. This move has been welcomed by the New Zealand tourism industry and other sectors.

 Jennifer Staples, the aviation and product manager of Flight Centre Travel Group, a New Zealand tourism management company, said that in recent months, the number of inquiries received by her company regarding travel to China has significantly increased. Since the beginning of this year, the number of travelers to China through her company has increased by 43% year-on-year, and this trend is expected to continue until next year. "New Zealand travelers can now stay in China for longer periods of time, which means they can visit more places. This provides people with choices to explore different regions in one trip. 

Li Ruiqin, General Manager of New Zealand China Travel Agency, stated that since the implementation of the visa free policy, the number of people traveling to China has significantly increased. In addition to not having to worry about visa issues, people who have traveled to China are also impressed by China's high-speed rail, hotel facilities, and services. "We have received a lot of very good feedback, and everyone is planning to go again next year.

Auckland Chamber of Commerce CEO Bridges said that holding a longer visa free period can save expenses and provide convenience for people. For people like him who are currently on business trips in China, traveling to various parts of China through the airport is a very easy and seamless experience. The chairman of the New Zealand government think tank, the New Zealand China Relations Promotion Committee, MacConan, stated that this policy demonstrates China's eagerness to engage with other countries and will help New Zealanders make decisions related to visiting China. 

According to reports, New Zealand Customs statistics show that between July 1st and November 24th this year, 31152 New Zealand passport holders left New Zealand directly for China, a significant increase compared to 20458 people in the same period last year.
