Traveling from Australia to New Zealand
Some useful information to help you organize your travel from Australia to New Zealand.
Q: Do I need visa to travel from Australia to New Zealand?
A: No, Australian citizens and people who hold a current Australian permanent residence visa or a current Australian
resident return visa do not need a New Zealand visa to enter New Zealand. Citizens and permanent residents of
Australia (who do not have certain criminal convictions) may visit, live and work in New Zealand indefinitely. Upon
arrival, Australian citizens are exempted from the requirement to hold a permit and Australian permanent residents
are granted a residence permit.
Q: What can I bring into New Zealand?
A: Information on customs requirements, including importing and import restrictions, allowances and agricultural
restrictions, can be found on the New Zealand Customs Service website www.customs.govt.nz.
Every person arriving in New Zealand must complete the arrival card handed out on the aircraft or ship. No
vaccination certificates are required to enter New Zealand.
There are strict biosecurity rules that travellers must follow when they come to New Zealand. These requirements
are straightforward and easy to follow. Penalties for not following biosecurity rules are tough and fines can be instant.
While many goods are restricted, only a few are completely banned. More information can be found at
