Everyone completes the free New Zealand Traveller Declaration online or in the NZTD app before arrival; a paper form remains for those who can't.
Visitors may work remotely for overseas employers or clients, but not for New Zealand businesses.
Biosecurity is strict: declare food, hiking boots and outdoor gear; undeclared items bring instant fines.
