On 3 February, the New Zealand Government announced the next steps for reopening New Zealand’s border/reconnecting New Zealanders to the world.

Fully vaccinated New Zealanders will find it easier to come home from February 2022, as the Government removes the requirement for managed isolation and quarantine (MIQ) for most travellers, and moves to a self-isolation requirement.

You can read further detail about these changes on the Unite Against COVID-19 website here.

SafeTravel global advisory changes

In line with these changes the current SafeTravel COVID-19 global advisory (level 4 – “Do not travel”) will be removed and destination specific travel advisory levels will be reinstated using our four level advisory rating system. These changes will be made in two steps:

  • At 11.59pm on 27 February 2022 the travel advisory for Australia only will be lowered to “exercise increased caution” (level 2 of 4);
  • At 11:59 pm on 13 March 2022 the global travel advisory will be removed altogether and destination specific travel advisory levels will be reinstated

You can read more about our travel advisory levels and what they mean here.

We recommend that all New Zealanders who are living or travelling overseas at the moment read our full COVID-19 travel advisory here, and register their details with SafeTravel.
