ABOUT NEW ZEALAND - Fact file
Kia Ora and Welcome
New Zealand is an independent nation and a member of the British Commonwealth. It has a diverse multi-cultural population of 4 million people, the majority of whom are of British descent. New Zealand's indigenous Maori make up around 14 percent of the population. An outstanding feature about this beautiful land is that when you visit, you ARE NOT IN A CONQUERED LAND!
New Zealand's first settlers, the Maori, named the kiwi bird for the sound of its chirp - kiwi, kiwi, kiwi! This flightless bird, about the size of a domestic hen, has an extremely long beak and plumage that is more like hair than feathers. New Zealanders have adopted this nocturnal, flightless and endearing creature as their national emblem.
Referring to New Zealanders as Kiwis probably dates back to the First World War, when New Zealand soldiers first acquired this nickname.
Visa application forms are available from NZ diplomatic missions overseas, travel agents or through the New Zealand Immigration Service (NZIS; 0508 558 855, +64 9-914 4100; www.immigration.govt.nz). The NZIS has over a dozen offices overseas; consult the website.
