I am a dual NZ/AU passport holder so I compared both country forms:
Crikey! The NZ form is two pages; no certified true copies needed; no requirement to show 4 trips in the past 12 months and is ~$55 cheaper (NZ$150 vs AU$200). While I haven't lived in NZ for 33 years, I can still apply from Oz. Only downside is that I'll have to use my NZ passport for entry into the APEC countries to get the shorter queues.
Are there any downsides of using the NZ passport to enter the APEC region when flying out of Australia? I used mine regularly until about 10 years ago and can't think of any.
