Vaccinations required for non-New Zealand citizens If you are not a New Zealand citizen, you need to be vaccinated for COVID-19 before flying to New Zealand from 1 November 2021. New Zealand permanent residents and temporary visa holders are not New Zealand citizens, and so need to be vaccinated before travel.
You will need to declare you have been vaccinated when you book your place in managed isolation and quarantine (MIQ)
You need to be fully vaccinated. This means you need to have had a full course of any of the 22 COVID-19 vaccines that have been approved by a government or approval authority. You need to have had the last dose at least 14 days before you arrive in New Zealand.
