NZ passport Holiday Visa in UK trip to France for few days

[tomjenkins26a]

Hi,

I want to take my New Zealand girlfriend to Paris and I'm not sure if she needs a visa for France.

She is over on a holiday visa presently in the UK on a New Zealand passport does she need to get a French visa to visit Paris for a few days?

Thank you for your help.

PS I don't think she does but she thinks she does

To be honest, the French immigration control will in almost all certainty barely glance at the NZ passport before stamping her in. You have nothing to worry about!
