Requirement for Entry to New Zealand

Passport Validity

You must hold a valid passport to enter New Zealand. Your passport must be valid for a minimum period of three months from the date of exit from New Zealand.

Visas 
New Zealand’s immigration rules are strict, particularly in the areas of employment. Anyone wishing to work is required to have a visa allowing employment. British passport holders can enter New Zealand as a visitor for up to six months on arrival without a visa, provided they can satisfy an Immigration Officer that they meet the requirements of the Rules. Visitors must have an onward ticket. Before travelling, please contact the New Zealand High Commission in London for further information on exactly what is required at immigration.

Quarantine and Bio Security 

New Zealand has very strict bio-security regulations. It is illegal to import most foodstuffs (meat and meat products, honey, fruit, dairy, produce, etc.), and strict penalties are handed out to those breaking these rules. You may also need to take care when transferring wood products, golf clubs, footwear (which may have soil and dirt attached), tents (for the same reason), fishing equipment, and items made from animal skin (e.g., crocodile handbags).

The immigration arrivals card has full details. If in doubt, declare possibly illegal possessions to a Ministry of Agriculture official or dump them in one of the bins available at the airport. Failure to comply with these regulations can result in a heavy fine of up to $100,000 or imprisonment. As a result of these quarantine procedures, you should expect some delay on arrival.

Advice for Motorists

Take extreme care when driving over a railway level crossing.

Obey the warning signs and look carefully in both directions for trains. Listen, be aware, and pay careful attention to your surroundings. Always ensure there is space on the other side of the crossing for your vehicle.

When approaching a level crossing where lights and bells are operating, or barrier arms are lowered or have started to come down, you must:

● stop your car, 

● wait for the train to pass, and

● wait for the lights to stop flashing and the barrier arms to lift before entering the crossing.

At level crossings controlled by either “give way” or stop signs alone, you must:

● Slow down and be prepared to stop.

● If there is a stop sign, you must stop your vehicle completely and look both ways up and down the tracks to check the railway lines are clear.

● Wait for any approaching train to pass before crossing. 

● Where there is more than one track, look again for trains coming in the opposite direction. Cross only when the railway lines are clear of trains.

Never overtake a vehicle that has stopped for a train or try to race a train over the crossing – trains are usually travelling faster than you think.  

Some vehicles (such as those carrying dangerous goods) are legally required to stop at a level crossing, unless automatic alarms are installed. Always take care when traveling behind these vehicles. For further information on safe driving behavior at level crossings, see the New Zealand Road Code.
