Traffic Light System Scrapped for NZ

The New Zealand traffic light system and almost all of the COVID-19 related requirements in New Zealand have been removed.

If you are traveling to New Zealand, this means:

• You are no longer required to wear masks except in healthcare and aged care facilities
• There are no vaccine requirements to enter New Zealand
• It is not mandatory to self test on days 0/1 and 5/6, but encouraged. You will still be provided with free RAT tests on arrival for voluntary testing

More information is available at the Unite against COVID-19 website.

Requirements still in effect

• You must self isolate if you contract COVID-19 for a minimum of 7 days. Close contacts will not need to isolate
• Masks to be worn in aged care and healthcare facilities
• A New Zealand Travel Declaration will still need to be filled out before travelling to New Zealand. This includes Citizens returning to New Zealand

Visa Requirements and Updates
If you are traveling to New Zealand you will need either a Visitor visa or an NZeTA unless you are an Australian Citizen. For travel from visa waivering countries, you are able to apply for a New Zealand Electronic Travel Authority (NZeTA) but this must now be granted BEFORE travel. You now need to upload a photo for identification purposes also.

In October 2020, Cover-More NZ launched COVID-19 travel insurance for travel in New Zealand and Australia. This new cover has proved popular with many Kiwis seeking that extra piece of mind to resume travelling again. With more talk about Pacific Island travel bubbles potentially opening soon, now is a great time to ensure you’re covered with the best possible protection.
