😍Finally, Someone Clearly Explained the Auckland Entry Process for Tourists

😍 Excited about your trip to New Zealand but feeling a bit overwhelmed by the entry process at Auckland Airport? 😡 No need to stress! This comprehensive guide will walk you through every step, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free arrival!

1️⃣ Filling out the Entry Card
🔺 Paper Version: On flights from China to New Zealand, flight attendants will hand out paper entry cards. Make sure to bring your own pen to fill it out.
🔺 Electronic Version: You can complete the electronic entry card up to 24 hours in advance via the NZTD app, which is available in Chinese. After submitting, you’ll receive a confirmation email for customs verification.

2️⃣ Item Preparation and Declaration Guidelines
🔺 If you’re unsure whether an item needs to be declared, it’s best to err on the side of caution and check “Yes.” Declaring items avoids potential fines, especially for food and medicine. When in doubt, declare everything.
⚠️ Important Note! New Zealand strictly prohibits the importation of ephedrine, strychnine, and morphine-based medicines, as well as traditional Chinese medicines, herbal remedies, and medicines containing animal or honey components.

Common medications like Kechuanning and Kesuting should not be brought into the country.

✅ Entry Process
1️⃣ Follow the signs
After landing, follow the signs to “Baggage Claim” and “International Arrivals.” There are also signs in Chinese, and following the flow of other passengers is usually a safe bet.
2️⃣ Self-service Entry
Travelers over 10 years old with new passports can use the eGate for a quick and efficient self-service entry.

Join the queue, place the first page of your passport on the machine, and proceed with facial recognition. Then, pass through the automatic door (no photography allowed). If you have a paper card or are traveling with children under 12, head to the manual channel.
3️⃣ Collecting Luggage
After clearing the eGate, turn right after the elevator to reach the baggage carousel.

Check the large screen for your flight number and wait patiently for your luggage. Once you have your bags, make sure you haven’t left anything behind and head to the biosecurity inspection area.
4️⃣ Customs Inspection and Clearance
There are two channels: one for declarations and one for no declarations.

Choose the appropriate channel based on your situation. If you have made declarations, customs officers will ask about the items you’ve brought. Be honest and provide all necessary information.
