Bosnia and Herzegovina
Bosnia and Herzegovina travel guide for New Zealanders
New Zealanders should confirm entry rules with Bosnia and Herzegovina's own authorities before booking: the site has no verified source for a visa-free stay, so treat any 90-day figure as unconfirmed. What is settled: currency is the convertible mark, plugs are C and F, tipping rounds up, and emergency is 112. Confirm visa status first, then costs and flights.

Entry by passport: visa, ETA and permitted stay
This page is a dated draft and has not been field-verified. The site has no confirmed source for the visa-free stay, passport validity window or biometric-passport rule that applies to New Zealand passport holders, so none of those is stated here as fact.
The authority that decides is the government of Bosnia and Herzegovina; confirm the current rule with the relevant Bosnia and Herzegovina authority before you book flights, and again shortly before departure, because rules change.
If an entry permission is required, apply only through the channel that authority names. Do not pay a third-party agency that is not listed by that authority.

Costs in local currency and NZD
Prices in Bosnia and Herzegovina are in convertible marks (BAM, KM), fixed at 1.95583 to the euro, so a euro-based budget converts cleanly. The site has no verified NZD figures for hotels, meals or transport, so treat any NZD total you see elsewhere as an estimate and check the live rate before you budget.
The country pages give the shape of a first trip: 3 nights in Sarajevo and 2 in Mostar, linked by the scenic train or bus. Convert your own BAM budget at the rate on the day you book.

Flying from New Zealand
The site has no verified source for direct-flight availability, connecting hubs, arrival airports or journey duration from New Zealand to Bosnia and Herzegovina. Check each of these with an airline or the flight-time planner before you book.
Add a buffer day at the European end before you rely on a tight connection; check the connection time with the airline.
Power and plugs
Bosnia and Herzegovina uses type C and F plugs at 230 V, 50 Hz. Check whether your own plugs and chargers are compatible before you travel.
Tipping
Tipping is informal. Round up the bill, and leave about 10% in sit-down restaurants. Cafés and taxis usually just take the rounded amount.
Emergency numbers
Dial 112 in most areas for any emergency. Police is 122, fire 123 and ambulance 124. Save these before you arrive, and keep your insurer's assistance number alongside them.
