New Zealanders can continue to spend up to 90 days in America without a visa, as recently introduced microchipped passports meet new visa waiver requirements, the Internal Affairs Department says.
From yesterday, the US requires newly issued passports to carry a microchip that contains the holder's photograph and other digitised data.
Older passports that are machine-readable also meet the requirements.
NZ and 25 other countries have an agreement with the US allowing visa-free entry for up to 90 days.
