Advance Passenger Screening

New Zealand has implemented a system designed to enhance the security of New Zealand's borders.  You may be refused permission to board your flight to come to, or return to, New Zealand if:

  • you do not have an appropriate visa to enter New Zealand, or
  • your visa has expired, or
  • your visa has not been transferred to your current/new passport or the passport being used to enter New Zealand.

To miminise any disruption to your travel plans please ensure your travel documents are up-to-date and that you have the appropriate and current visa.  If you have any questions check with your nearest immigration branch.
