About this app

Make your arrival in New Zealand a smoother experience by filling out your New Zealand Traveller Declaration (NZTD) before you get here. You can submit it up to 24 hours before starting your trip to New Zealand.

Your declaration will take about 10 minutes to complete and you’ll need to answer the questions in English. You can update it at any time, up until you get to the border in New Zealand.

Information you need to provide when filling out your NZTD includes:
- Your passport, contact and flight details;
- Your immigration status (if required);
- Details about your trip, including your recent travel history;
- Items you are bringing into New Zealand, including in your carry on bags and checked in luggage.

With the NZTD app you can:
- Scan your passport to add your passport details;
- Add and complete multiple declarations, for example, for your children;
- Use offline mode to enter information while you’re flying or out of WiFi or data range. You need to be online to start or submit a declaration.

Once you’ve submitted your NZTD there’s nothing more you need to do. You won’t have to print anything out or show a QR code. Your NZTD will automatically show up when your passport is scanned at the border.

Ratings and reviews

Paperless and wireless but most importantly clear communicative and stress free in the comfort of having a fully charged mobile device to deliver an important intended result and outcome making life so much easier. Excellent app. However I scanned only one passport and I am wondering if I still need to do anything more. But still confident about the service. Kind regards and thanks for a great service.

Honestly, not the greatest app, have been trying to submit an application for hours, but it kept saying 'incomplete' but not telling me what wasn't complete... And everything showed as done 🤦‍♂️ I eventually went over every question again and resaved each step, with the same info as before, then it worked. Absolutely awful!

Could you please let the team that looks after the web product know that they have done a great job. This app is completely inoperable on the other hand, you should probably look into it, maybe the web team can teach you a thing or two about handling poor network conditions such as what you will experience when trying to load this app on airplane wifi.
