Documentation Before you travel to New Zealand

All passengers, including New Zealand citizens and permanent resident visa holders, must complete the New Zealand Traveller Declaration form before departure https://www.travellerdeclaration.govt.nz/

 

We recommend setting aside some time to complete the online form. You can start your declaration up to 28 days before you fly, and return to complete it after you have your COVID-19 test results and prior to your departure.

  • You will need to have your proof of vaccination and your negative pre-departure test results to complete the form.
  • After you have successfully completed the form, you’ll receive a Traveller Pass to check-in and board your flight. You’ll also be asked to show your Traveller Pass upon arrival in New Zealand.

If you have any pre-existing conditions , you’ll need to provide a medical certificate at check-in, or you may be denied boarding.

  • “We are from Singapore and we have not met but through online discussions, you were able to put together the necessary items for our trip in a very short time. From your office in North NZ Island, you gave us updates every morning on our itinerary, reminded us of our pickups, call the car rental company for time extensions and you checked on us throughout the day to ensure our comfort and safety. We appreciate every effort you've made in making sure our trip is a memorable and smooth sailing one. Thank you so much and may you continue to gain support and success in building your company. ”

  • “To begin with, thank you for your thoughtful organization for us, from being picked up, dropped off at the airport, and drove to the factories by Mr. Darrell. He is really quite a nice guy. Secondly, all our accommodations were very comfortable, especially the House at 41 Lake View Road where we had very splendid sightseeing. Certainly, we will have you book some nights for us next time so that our kids can have a chance to enjoy them. The beach and the view there were very peaceful. My husband has been reminded of Roseland Restaurant from time to time. He did not think that there was a restaurant that could attract a lot of guests although it was located very far from the main road. In short, we really like the trip of that kind in which you left us a lot of freedom to discover NZ by ourselves along with your thoughtful and careful guidance. Thank you a lot and see you soon there.”

  • “We had a great time in New Zealand.  The driver (Mr. Jeff) was helpful, drive safely and keep the bus in good condition all the time. The local Tour guide was fantastic, very friendly, and had great knowledge of the local area and tourist spots. He helped with any questions from our Vietnamese clients especially some questions about local life in NZ The accommodation was good at its price and all of the hotels we stayed in were comfortable, clean, good location and had good views too. The food we had in the tour was good and we could not have asked for anything else (excepting the fresh chilly seems not much & expensive in NZ) The boat we went on in Milford Sound (Real Journey NZ) was nice and gorgeous. The food was great within its kind.  Staffs on the boat were very helpful and warm. Just wanted to say thanks for a great trip in New Zealand which is a new destination with beautiful scenery and we surely will promote more groups to New Zealand in a very close time in the future!”

  • “We just landed in Manila. My whole family and Fr Nelson thank you so much for your kind assistance in our tour. We appreciate the local sim card with the load. It was very helpful to us. The choices of hotels were excellent. Maybe just feedback for you for your future clients. In the Heartland Hotel Christchurch, one room can fit a family of 5. Thank you very much. We have wonderful memories of New Zealand. My boys will come back next year to Queenstown. Thanks to our driver for taking care of us. We will recommend our tours to our friends in the Philippines.  ”
