Common mistakes

Enter the final flight that arrives in your destination country, not the first flight in your itinerary.
Details do not match the passport
Copy names, document numbers and dates exactly as shown in the passport, using the required writing system.
Submitting outside the filing window

Using an intermediary website
Compare the portal address with the official link before entering your details, as third-party services may charge extra fees.
Questions and answers
Do I need to complete the New Zealand form?
When this page shows Required, submit the form on the official portal for every traveller covered by the requirement.
Does a child need a separate form?
Immigration details are required for every passenger, including children. A family submission may group forms, but the passport details must still be entered.
Which flight should I enter after a connection?
Enter the final flight that lands in the country. The embarkation point is the airport where that segment begins.
What should I save after submission?
Keep the QR code, PDF, email, and application reference provided by the official portal.
Can I correct a mistake?
First check for an edit link in the email or result page. If editing is unavailable, submit a new correct declaration and use the latest confirmation.
