Departing an Australian Airport? Here's What You Need Before You Fly to New Zealand
The New Zealand Traveller Declaration (NZTD) is the official form every traveler needs to enter New Zealand — including Australian and New Zealand citizens returning home. It replaces the old paper arrival card, and it's required regardless of which Australian city you're flying from.
Because the flight across the Tasman is short — often under 4 hours from Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane — many Australian travelers land in New Zealand before they've dealt with it. Submitting it now, before boarding at your Australian airport, means it's done before you're airborne. Most confirmations arrive by email within minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I still complete my declaration if I'm about to board in Australia?
Toggle faqs
Yes. You can submit it any time up until passport control in New Zealand, so completing it now from your Australian airport still works.
Does it matter which Australian airport I'm flying from?
Toggle faqs
No. The requirement is the same whether you're departing Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, the Gold Coast or any other Australian airport with a direct flight to New Zealand.
Do I need to print anything at the airport?
Toggle faqs
No. You'll receive a QR code by email that you can show digitally on your phone on arrival in New Zealand.
I'm an Australian citizen flying to New Zealand — do I still need this?

Yes, the form is lightweight and works fine on standard Australian airport Wi-Fi or mobile data — you don't need a strong connection.
