In August 2023, New Zealand introduced the New Zealand Traveller Declaration to replace the traditional paper-based ‘Passenger Arrival Card’ with a digital alternative.
All individuals entering New Zealand are required to complete this declaration, providing details about their travel and any items they are bringing into the country.
Travelers can submit their declaration digitally prior to departure. The information gathered is used to support border risk assessments conducted by Immigration,Customs,Biosecurity,and Health agencies,as needed.
Tourists traveling to New Zealand for sightseeing and leisure.
Professionals attending business meetings, conferences, or work engagements.
New Zealand residents returning from overseas trips.
Students arriving to pursue educational opportunities.
