COVID-19 updates: Visit covid19.govt.nz for details on the COVID-19 Protection Framework that apply to the different regions in NZ.
All air travellers to NZ (except those from Antarctica and most Pacific Islands) must have a negative COVID-19 test returned within 72 hours of their first scheduled international flight. All travellers from countries NZ does not have quarantine-free travel with must spend seven days in an MIQ facility followed by home isolation until they return a negative day nine test. All non-NZ citizens must be fully vaccinated before travelling to NZ from Australia without entering MIQ. Nine countries in Africa have been designated as Very High Risk - only NZ citizens, their partners and dependent children may return from those countries, and they must spend 14 days in MIQ. Visit the COVID-19 international travel site for more information.
The isolation period for maritime travellers is now 10 days. For more information on travelling via sea, visit health.govt.nz.
