Must NZ citizens enter NZ with their NZ passports?

score:6

Accepted answer

It is not required for a New Zealand citizen to enter using a New Zealand passport. [1] However, if the person intends to stay longer than what would normally be allowed by a tourist of the nationality of their passport, they would have to prove their NZ citizenship in some way.

For example, a dual Mexican/NZ citizen who only holds a valid Mexican passport, would be allowed to enter New Zealand for up to 3 months under visitor visa rules.
