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.
