The New Zealand Government has announced a five-stage plan to
open New Zealand's border. We have summarised key points
below:
Step one
From 11:59pm Sunday 27 February 2022 fully vaccinated Kiwis and
other currently eligible travellers will be able to travel to New
Zealand from Australia utilising a self-isolation system.
Step two
From 11:59pm Sunday 13 March 2022 fully vaccinated Kiwis and
other currently eligible travellers from the rest of the world will
be able to travel to New Zealand utilising a self-isolation system.
As part of step two, expanded border exception will be implemented
for critical workers, and skilled workers earning at least 1.5
times the median wage will be eligible to enter New Zealand, along
with highly skilled workers' family members who may have been
separated from their loved ones. Opening of Working Holiday Scheme
visas.
