Note: The Minister of Immigration has given a special direction to:
- suspend the waiver of the requirement to hold a transit visa before travelling to and being in New Zealand as a transit passenger, as specified in regulation 16 of the Immigration (Visa, Entry Permission, and Related Matters) Regulations 2010, except for Schedule 1(2) – Citizens of Australia and people who hold a current permanent residence visa (including a resident return visa) issued by the Government of Australia, where Australia is their final destination, and
- classify the immediate family members (spouses, minor dependants and legal guardians) of Australian citizens and holders of a current permanent residence visa (including a resident return visa) issued by the Government of Australia as persons to whom a transit visa waiver applies, where Australia is their final destination.
This is valid from 11:59pm 19 March 2020 until 19 June 2020, unless cancelled earlier.
