Free New Zealand Visa for Indians During Cricket World Cup 2015

For various reasons, New Zealand (NZ) has always been on the top of my bucket list. Not just because of the sheer beauty it exuberates, but mainly due to the fact that it offers something for everyone. From mountains, glaciers, vineyards, geysers to adventure sports, cycle tours, chic boutiques and toothsome food. NZ – God’s own country – truly offers the adventure of a lifetime. Interestingly, the recent announcement by Tourism New Zealand has only increased my desire to fly to this beautiful country. Here's the good news:

Free New Zealand Visa for Indians

Since Australia and NZ will be co-hosting the World Cup 2015 in February and March and are expecting a massive upsurge in tourist traffic, Tourism NZ has decided that any Indian travelling to watch the World Cup will only have to apply for an Australian visa and will get a free New Zealand visa on arrival.
