New Zealand Embassy

The New Zealand Embassy in the United Kingdom is called the New Zealand High Commission.  The High Commission can be found at New Zealand House.

The New Zealand High Commission in London is an overseas post of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade. The High Commission is to manages New Zealand's political, economic and trade relations with the United Kingdom and Ireland. The High Commission also provides diplomatic and consular services to New Zealanders in the UK and Ireland.

The reason it is called a High Commission and not an Embassy, which is the more commonly known term, is because permanent diplomatic missions between Commonwealth countries are known as High Commissions.

Please Note: The New Zealand High Commission will not respond to queries about visas or migration.
It is highly recommended that all queries about migration or visas to New Zealand are directed to a Migration Agent registered with the NZAMI.

The New Zealand Visa Bureau is a division of Visa Bureau Ltd, an independent UK company specialising in visa and immigration services to New Zealand.
