Entry on an Indian passport
Two sets of rules on this trip, and both have to be sorted before you fly.
- Australia: e-Visa online before you go, 3 months. The Visitor e600 is applied for online but is a full visa. Transit needs one too.
- New Zealand: Embassy or consulate in advance, 3 months. An electronic travel authority is needed on top.
Checked 2026-11 against Wikipedia’s compilation of IATA Timatic entries. Entry rules depend on your passport and where you live, and they change with little notice — confirm with each embassy or your airline before you book. Check another country.
Where these routes go: Sydney · Uluru · Cairns · Queenstown · Milford Sound · Mount Cook · Christchurch.

Australia and New Zealand in 16 days: Sydney, Uluru, the Reef and the South Island
Sydney → Uluru → Cairns → Queenstown → Milford Sound → Mount Cook → Christchurch
A harbour city, a monolith in the middle of a continent, the largest living structure on earth, and then three hours across the Tasman to a South Island of glaciers and fiords — the long-haul trip people do once and plan around for years.
