Ordinary New Zealanders are being asked to play a part in helping smooth the way for a new measure aimed at keeping out overseas visitors who pose a risk to our security.
From October 1 the 1.5 million people who visit from 60 “visa waiver” countries every year will be required to obtain a New Zealand electronic travel authority – an NZeTA – before being allowed to board a plane or cruise ship bound for New Zealand.
The move is designed to prevent people travelling here who are considered a risk to New Zealand’s safety by identifying them well before check-in.
