Travel to New Zealand

How to plan your travel to NZ and what will happen when you arrive.

Plan your travel to New Zealand

New Zealand’s borders are currently closed to almost all travellers to help stop the spread of COVID-19. Arrivals are required to undergo either managed isolation or quarantine for at least 14 days.

  • Pre-departure testing
  • Overseas vaccinations
  • Transiting through Australia
  • Changes to international arrival procedures at Auckland Airport

Secure your place in managed isolation

Almost all travellers are legally required to have a voucher confirming their place in managed isolation before boarding their flight. This includes travellers returning from quarantine-free entry to Australia. Air passengers from the Cook Islands can travel quarantine-free into New Zealand.
