1 EUR = 1.79 NZD as of 2026-05-18. EUR-NZD is a smaller migration corridor than EUR-AUD but follows similar dynamics — New Zealand's Working Holiday Visa is available to most EU countries (Germany, France, Italy, Netherlands, Ireland, etc.) with 12-month durations, the Skilled Migrant Category points-based system attracts European engineers and healthcare workers, and a steady flow of European retirees and lifestyle migrants buy property in the South Island. NZD has weakened against EUR over 5 years on softer dairy export prices, RBNZ's aggressive cutting cycle from late 2024 into 2025, and China-demand drag on commodity currencies.

❓ FAQ
EUR to NZD FAQ.
Best way to send EUR to NZD for moving to New Zealand?
For initial setup funds and Skilled Migrant landing costs: Wise NZD account opened from Europe gives ~0.5% markup, the best widely-available rate. Revolut supports NZD on Premium tier for smaller amounts. For property purchase remittance (which can be substantial): NZ banks ANZ, ASB, and BNZ accept SWIFT wires from European banks with treasury-rate FX above NZD 100K. Note NZ's 2018 Overseas Investment Act restrictions on residential property purchase by non-residents — you generally need residency or specific exemption.
Can EU citizens buy property in New Zealand?
Restricted since October 2018. Non-residents (including most EU citizens without NZ residency) cannot buy existing residential property — only newly-built developments above a threshold, or with specific OIO (Overseas Investment Office) consent. Permanent residents, residence-class visa holders, and Australian/Singaporean citizens are exempted. Most European migrants on Working Holiday or Skilled Migrant visas need to wait for residency status before buying — typically 2-5 years after first arrival.
How does Working Holiday Visa NZ compare to Australia for Europeans?
NZ's WHV is simpler (less paperwork, less competitive quota for most EU countries) but offers fewer regional-work extension options than Australia's 88-day program. Wages in NZ are lower than Australia (~20-25% below Aus minimum wage in equivalent roles), but cost of living outside Auckland is more reasonable. Many European working holiday makers do NZ first as a gentler entry and then continue to Australia for higher earnings.
