※新型コロナウイルスをめぐる各国の対応策は極めて流動的ですので、これから渡航をされる方は必ず外務省・大使館のホームページを確認し、最新の情報を十分に確認してください。
Step 1 — from Sunday February 27, 11.59 pm
Fully vaccinated New Zealanders and other eligible travellers in Australia can enter New Zealand and self-isolate on arrival. Eligible travellers must have spent the previous 14 days in Australia and meet health requirements before they travel. Eligible travellers include:
- New Zealand citizens
- New Zealand permanent residents or resident visa holders
- Australian citizens or permanent residence visa holders where New Zealand is your primary place of established residence
- people with border exceptions
- those exempt from border entry restrictions such as diplomats and air crew, and
- partners, dependent children or parents of a dependent child who:
- holds a visa based on the relationship to a New Zealand citizen or resident, or
- is travelling with a New Zealand citizen or resident, or
- is ordinarily resident in New Zealand.
Step 2 — from Sunday 13 March, 11.59 pm
Fully vaccinated New Zealanders and other eligible travellers from anywhere in the world can enter New Zealand and self-isolate on arrival.
We will also make the following changes to schemes and border exceptions:
- Working Holiday Schemes will reopen on a rolling basis (the staging and timing of individual schemes will be confirmed)
- the income criteria for the Other Critical Worker border exception will be reduced to 1.5 times the median wage (NZD $84,240 a year or NZD $40.50 an hour) for roles longer than 6 months
- Other Critical Workers who meet the 1.5 times the median wage bright line test will not be required to demonstrate that their skills are not readily obtainable in New Zealand, and
- the highly skilled family reunification border exception will be aligned with the 1.5 times the median wage bright line test for Other Critical Workers.
All travellers must meet health requirements before travel. Eligible travellers include:
- New Zealand citizens
- New Zealand permanent residents or resident visa holders
- Australian citizens or permanent residence visa holders where New Zealand is your primary place of established residence
- people with border exceptions
- those exempt from border entry restrictions such as diplomats and air crew, and
- partners, dependent children or parents of a dependent child who:
- holds a visa based on the relationship to a New Zealand citizen or resident, or
- is travelling with a New Zealand citizen or resident, or
- is ordinarily resident in New Zealand.
Step 3 — from Tuesday 12 April, 11.59 pm
Temporary visa holders currently outside New Zealand and who have a valid visa can enter New Zealand as long as they still meet their visa requirements.
Up to 5000 international students can enter New Zealand for semester 2.
Workforce class exceptions and events, and government approved programme lists, will be extended and updated as needed.
Step 4 — from July 2022
Our borders will open to:
- Australian citizens, Australian permanent residents and other foreign nationals travelling from Australia
- visitors from visa-waiver countries
- Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV) holders.
Step 5 — from October 2022
The border opens for all other New Zealand visa holders, including visitor and student visas, unless the visa is closed or paused.
