The Current Travel Situation
At the time of writing, the Government's plan to begin reopening the border will be delayed until the end of February 2022. This is to help keep Omicron out of our community. By delaying our border opening to the end of February, more New Zealanders will become eligible for a booster dose.
Who can travel to NZ?
The New Zealand borders are closed to many travellers to help stop the spread of COVID-19. Travel restrictions apply to all arrivals into New Zealand by air or sea.
Most people who are not New Zealand citizens or residents must get approval from Immigration NZ before travelling to New Zealand. Some people do not need to request to travel. You can check if are currently eligible to travel to New Zealand by following this link.
At present, all travellers intending on travelling to New Zealand must undertake 10 days of 'Managed Isolation'.
When Will New Zealand Open For International Tourists?
Although there has been much speculation surrounding the reopening of New Zealand borders, nothing has yet to be confirmed by the New Zealand government. The latest international travel updates can be found here.
Will Tourists Require Proof Of Vaccination Before Travelling To New Zealand?
At present, the Government requires non-New Zealand citizens to meet COVID-19 vaccine requirements before travelling to New Zealand by air, so it can be assumed that this will continue to be a requirement as New Zealand reopens it's borders to tourists.
