7 rights New Zealand citizens enjoyThe government lists seven key privileges. Citizens have the right to live in New Zealand indefinitely and to travel internationally on a New Zealand passport. Citizens also gain full access to education, full economic and social rights, and the right to represent the country in sports. Individuals seeking citizenship in a country that does not allow dual nationality may be required to relinquish their New Zealand citizenship in the process. In rare cases, the Minister of Internal Affairs holds the authority to revoke a person's New Zealand citizenship entirely.
