Update 2022-09-12: Travellers coming to New Zealand from 23:59 pm (local time) on Monday (12 September) will no longer be required to show proof of vaccination and will not have to take any rapid tests upon arrival, as was announced by authorities. Simultaneously, the COVID-19 traffic light system will be removed and most restrictions still in place will hence be suspended. Face masks will only be mandatory in health facilities and nursing/retirement homes.
