Not user friendly

Have completed a declaration but need to change the flight number. Received a code to do so, but does not work. Have now downloaded the app and done another declaration. Quicker to fill in a piece of paper on the plane.

FAQ

What is the New Zealand Traveller Declaration (NZTD) app?

The NZTD app allows you to complete and submit your New Zealand Traveller Declaration digitally before you arrive in the country. This process helps to make your arrival at the border a smoother experience by having your declaration ready in advance.

How far in advance can I submit my declaration?

You can submit your New Zealand Traveller Declaration up to 24 hours before you start your trip to New Zealand. This provides a convenient window to complete the necessary information without rushing.

What information do I need to provide?

You will need to provide details such as your passport, contact, and flight information, your immigration status if applicable, details about your trip including recent travel history, and a list of items you are bringing into New Zealand.

Can I use the app offline?

Yes, you can use the app in offline mode to enter information, which is useful when you are flying or outside of WiFi or data range. However, you will need to be online to start or submit your declaration.

Do I need to print anything or show a QR code?

No, once you have submitted your NZTD through the app, there is nothing more you need to do. You do not need to print anything out or show a QR code, as your declaration will automatically be linked to your passport when it is scanned at the border.
