Reconnecting With The World, NZ Border Opening
Hon Chris Hipkins dropped the bombshell we’ve all been waiting on, and we’re traveling again!
Still, just baby steps, but definitely in the right direction.
Here’s what you need to know:
- Fully vaccinated Kiwis and other eligible travelers can travel to NZ from Australia without staying in MIQ from 11.59pm Sunday, 16 January 2022
- Fully vaccinated Kiwis and other eligible travelers can travel to NZ from all other countries from 11.59pm Sunday, 13 February 2022
- All fully vaccinated individuals will be able to travel to NZ from 30 April 2022 onwards, with the re-opening staged over time
- Fully vaccinated Kiwis and other eligible travelers can travel to NZ from all other countries from 11.59pm Sunday, 13 February 2022
The border will open in three steps.
All travelers not required to go into MIQ, will still require:
- A negative pre-departure test
- Proof of being fully vaccinated
- A passenger declaration about travel history
- A day 0/1 test on arrival
- A requirement to *self-isolate for seven days, and
- A final negative test before entering the community
Congratulations New Zealand, job well done! Let’s now just get back to what we all love doing – and that’s traveling!
