Good news for Australian travellers heading to New Zealand! The hassle of paper arrival cards is now a thing of the past, thanks to the introduction of the New Zealand Traveller Declaration (NZTD). This digital process is designed to make border crossings faster and more convenient for everyone, including families with little ones—yes, even kids and infants need their own NZTD!
The NZTD is a simple and efficient online form that replaces the traditional paper arrival card for most travellers entering New Zealand. It’s a step towards modernising the travel experience and ensuring smoother border processes. For those who prefer the traditional method, don’t worry—paper cards are still available upon request.

When to complete it: You can submit your declaration online up to 24 hours before your flight to New Zealand.
How long it takes: It only takes about 10 minutes to complete the process.
Who needs it: Every traveller, including children and infants, must have their own NZTD.
This convenient system ensures that your journey to New Zealand starts off stress-free, so you can focus on what matters—enjoying your adventure!
