Be a responsible traveller by fulfilling the New Zealand Traveller Declaration requirements
- Everyone travelling into New Zealand needs to complete a declaration.
- It is free and you can do it on the online form or the NZTD app.
- A declaration needs to be completed for each traveller, including babies
and children.
- You can start your digital declaration at a time that suits you. The
earliest time you can submit your declaration depends on whether you
are travelling by air or sea.
- Your declaration is linked to your passport and is checked when you
arrive at the eGate or by a border officer.
- There is a paper declaration form available for travellers who cannot
complete it online.
- If you are a New Zealand visa or NZeTA holder, you still need to complete
an NZTD as well.
The earliest you can submit your declaration is 24 hours before you start your
trip to New Zealand. It needs to be submitted by the time you reach passport
control in New Zealand.
