Confirmed by the UK Foreign Office on Friday (21 October), arrivals to the country will no longer need to declare their Covid-19 vaccination status or travel history to gain entry.
This means there are no longer any restrictions for British tourists travelling to New Zealand, including the need to be fully vaccinated.
The FCDO said: "New Zealand borders are fully open to all travellers as of 31 July 2022.
"From 20 October, travellers arriving into New Zealand by air are no longer required to fill out a New Zealand Traveller Declaration form disclosing their Covid-19 vaccine status and travel history."
