On 19 April 2021, New Zealand opened quarantine-free travel with Australia. This means that people can travel from Australia to New Zealand without having to secure a place in MIQ.
Travellers from a QFT zone must meet New Zealand immigration requirements:
- If you’re an Australian citizen, you do not need to hold a valid NZeTA or visa to travel.
- If you’re from a visa waiver country or you’re an Australian permanent resident, you must hold a valid NZeTA to travel.
- If none of the above applies to you, then you must hold a valid visa before travelling.
