When you check-in, you’ll be asked to present your travel ticket out of New Zealand to a country you have the right to enter.
Your departure date must be within 3 months of your arrival, or if you’re from the United Kingdom, within 6 months.
If after you leave New Zealand you’ll be travelling to a country that also has an onward travel requirement, we may ask to see that ticket too.
Tips
-
Your tickets must be paid for before your travel.
-
If you’ll be leaving on a private craft or cruise ship, we'll accept a letter from the craft owner or a cruise itinerary as proof of your travel arrangements.
-
If your only reason for coming to New Zealand is to renew a visa for another country, we recommend that you apply for a visa before travelling.
