Eligibility to Enter New Zealand: Before you travel to New Zealand, please make sure your passport is valid and meets the rules for acceptable travel documents. You will need to check your eligibility to travel to New Zealand and if you require a visa or NZeTA.
Agricultural Restrictions: New Zealand’s isolation has kept it free of many animal and plant diseases. To maintain this position, restrictions are imposed on the importation of certain animal and plant materials. Before arrival you will be asked to complete a declaration stating whether you have any foodstuffs, plant or animal material with you or in your baggage. Before entering New Zealand, you will pass through an agriculture check. Officers may check your baggage and some articles may need to be fumigated before they are returned to you.
