Leave a mark (cross or check mark) in the box of your applicable answer. Leave nothing where the option is not applicable. Do not do a cross and a check! But yes they prefer checks, but I always do crosses and it is fine.
Hey there...love all your upbeat vids. I do have a question or 2 forya. I will be bringing some OTC supplements for things like heartburn or a pain reliever like Ibuprofen but didnt see anywhere to declare them on this card. Also, will I have to declare my leather belt and wallet? THX
Same response here for convenience: It's always a good idea to double-check these things. Typically, arrival cards focus on prescription medications and larger quantities. For over-the-counter pills like those for heartburn and headache, you often don't need to declare them unless you have a substantial amount. However, it's recommended to keep them in their original packaging to avoid any confusion. If you have specific concerns, you might want to contact the relevant authorities or check the latest guidelines online. Safe travels! ✈️🌍

“ Goods carried on behalf of another person?” - so basically I am bringing some things from India to NZ for my friend who lives in NZ. Should I need to give yes or no?

Yes, you will need to include information about your 2-year-old child on the Passenger Arrival Card when entering New Zealand. While the child may not fill out a card individually, their details should be included on the card filled out by an accompanying adult. This ensures that all passengers, regardless of age, are accounted for in terms of biosecurity and immigration requirements. It's all part of New Zealand's efforts to protect its unique environment and maintain security. Safe travels to you and your family!

Great presentation. Must stress that in New Zealand bio security is taken seriously. Food especially uncooked and plants can carry disease so bags will be checked. Same with hunting and camping gear. NZ does not have the ticks that carry Lyme disease for example.

Heya, you don't need it if you are on a WH visa, there is more info about this on this page -> nzpocketguide.com/what-you-need-to-know-about-the-new-zealand-eta-visitor-levy/
Hello, I have one more question to ask, I have my expensive jewellery and the recepit of my jwellery is on somebody’s name. Will that make a problem when I declare it? And, Do I mark yes on the Good obtained overseas/duty-free in New Zealand even though it is my own jewellery? Thank you💕
@@NZPocketGuide haha. My questions are usually unique. We are a group flying chartered airline so just wanted to prepare ahead of time. Thanks for your response.

When answering the question “which countries have you been in the past 30 days” would you put any layover locations where you didn’t leave the airport en route?
@@stephanebrouttier4303 Same things it depends on country of origin and even when you fly. Best is to contact your airline to get the actual info as we would not want to give you erroneous information.
Quick question. I was looking at the updated NZ pre departure testing and it said that I can only get it no more than 24 hours before my flight. I was wondering what that meant.
Hi , like to check , if i am staying at motorhome upon arrival and only last night in hotel before departure , do i write motorhome ? or the last day hotel name ? For qns8 , we are coming in visa free ( NZeTA approved already ) which option do we choose ? thanks
@@NZPocketGuide Ok good to know. I am going to New Zealand first time in Nov 2023 and am a little nervous about the customs. I am brining a telescope, tripod and camera to view the night sky but not sure if I need to declare for custom duties (even though i am taking it back with me) or biosecurity purposes. I am assuming the tripod since it may have dirt on it from prior use but I will make sure to clean it before I travel.

Quick question; Does Ethyl alcohol considered in the alcohol/medicine declaration?
no idea :) Contact biosecurity to ask directly so you know what to declare :) And let us know if you can?
“ Goods carried on behalf of another person?” - so basically I am bringing some things from India to NZ for my friend who lives in NZ. Should I need to give yes or no?
Just to be safe put yes, you've got nothing to loose :)

Now that all Covid restrictions have been dropped, did they update this form ?
Yes, we cover the new Passenger Arrival Form in this video -> th-cam.com/video/n-LXUWwB6n8/w-d-xo.html
What about people going on a cruise leaving from Australia and cruising to New Zealand
Hi Carolyn, Your cruise staff will help you out with the paperwork on arrival :)
@@NZPocketGuide I will call them ! I didn’t see any thing on the wed site regarding helping guests with paperwork. But thanks !
18:00 in question #10 (countries visited) , is it no longer needed to include the countries you went through for plane transfers? (under 3 hrs stopover)
In case of doubt you can list them, it costs you nothing to be safe ;)
@@NZPocketGuide Yup! will probably do that :)

Thank you💕

Not at this stage. Refer to the links in the description for the latest info 😉
Does NZ arrive card still hv the covid section to fill in now that covid is consider no more dangerous like last time

Yes, absolutely. Just make sure to declare them!
Do they supply this card in the plane
Yes they do however it is mostly electronic nowadays :)
Hi, Can I fill the declaration form through online ?
As far as we know it is only a paper form for now.
Could I bring Probiotic pills into new zealand and a little box of Frankenscense (hardened aromatic tree resin)?
I would absolutely recommend to declare them when entering NZ 😊
Can I print a blank form and fill on my own or I need to use the one handed over by airlines ?
We have never been asked that. I think you would have to use the one provided in the plane or at the airport but I am not 100% sure...

Nope, as far as we know, it is a fee/levy but not a Visa :) (Also: Go Canucks!)

Just declare it at Biosecurity :)
If we are from a visa-waiver country, do we check "yes" or "no" on the "Do you have a visa" question?
Sorry - you answered this at the end. Thanks.

"You really have nothing else to do"
My Nintendo switch would like to have a word Robert
@@WoodysPickle haha yeah my switch did grump a bit at that statement but she'll get over it. What are you playing at the moment?

Hi Sir ☺ I will be carrying my partner's clothes, Is that for Goods carried on behalf of another person?
Yes, correct
When answering the question “which countries have you been in the past 30 days” would you put any layover locations where you didn’t leave the airport en route?
You may as well, it never hurts to be thorough :)
Hi good day I want to ask what is the requirements for transit passengers in Auckland..thank you
Good question, it depends on your country of origin and destination. You will need to check with your airline :)
@@NZPocketGuide I will take air new Zealand..do I need a travel insurance just for transit for 17 hrs in the airport?
@@NZPocketGuide thank you for your response
@@stephanebrouttier4303 Same things it depends on country of origin and even when you fly. Best is to contact your airline to get the actual info as we would not want to give you erroneous information.
Is covid test needed or not for traveling in New Zealand?
Not at this stage, but it is best to stay up-to-date with the travel requirements from official sources :)
Does a passenger in transit to NZ with Australia for final destination have to fill this card?
Heya, if you enter New Zealand you'll have to fill it :)
can you share this form link in comment box. 🙏 thanks
Check the description there are links for you :)
@@NZPocketGuide thanku so much🙏
Quick question. I was looking at the updated NZ pre departure testing and it said that I can only get it no more than 24 hours before my flight. I was wondering what that meant.
It means that you can't take it 25h or more, it needs to be 24h or under before boarding.
@@NZPocketGuide dang! Gotcha. Ok thanks 😊
As I know NZ passenger arrival card is no longer needed. Is it true?
It is still needed as far as we know but the COVID section is disappearing I think.
Thank you so much

Hi , like to check , if i am staying at motorhome upon arrival and only last night in hotel before departure , do i write motorhome ? or the last day hotel name ? For qns8 , we are coming in visa free ( NZeTA approved already ) which option do we choose ? thanks
Write your first holiday park's address and confirm with them I guess :)
I was wondering the same thing,
Hi just like to confirm, if one takes 3 months meds supplies, you don't have to declair?
If you have any doubts, just declare it! It is much safer!
Section 8: What if you have NZeta?
Hi there, the NZeTA is NOT a visa.
