New Zealand has implemented a system
designed to enhance the security of
New Zealand’s borders. You may be refused
permission to board your flight to come to,
or return to New Zealand if:
• you do not have an appropriate visa to enter
New Zealand; or
• your visa has expired; or
• your visa has not been transferred to your
current/new passport or the passport being
used to enter New Zealand.
To minimise any disruption to your travel plans,
please ensure your travel documents are up
to date and that you have the appropriate and
current visa. If you have any questions check
New Zealand Residence Programme
The Government manages the number of people
who are granted residence in New Zealand each
year through the New Zealand Residence
Programme. The programme has three streams
– Skilled/Business, Family Sponsored and
International/Humanitarian – with set limits on
the number of approvals granted for each group.
Each stream has a different intent, focus and rules.
On the following pages you will find an overview
of the various instructions and the rules for each
of the categories under each stream.
Tax exemption
Most types of individual income derived from
overseas are temporarily exempt from tax in
New Zealand, if you fulfil certain conditions.
The temporary tax exemption is available to
new migrants and returning New Zealanders
who have not been resident for tax purposes
in New Zealand for at least 10 years. See the
Inland Revenue website
for information.
Importing your car, boat, and/or
household items
You may be able to bring your car, boat, and/or
household items to New Zealand free of Customs
