New Zealand Reopening In 2022

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced plans to reopen New Zealand’s borders in early 2022 – without changing their COVID-19 elimination strategy. A risk-based system based on country and vaccination status will offer different travel pathways for people coming into New Zealand. Vaccinated travellers from high risk countries will still need to quarantine for 14 days, but vaccinated travellers from low risk countries can expect to avoid quarantine all together.

New Zealand has one of the lowest COVID-19 rates globally, and has had fewer than 2,900 infections and 26 deaths since the beginning of the pandemic. However, only around 20% of the population is fully vaccinated. Vaccinations should open up to all residents over 16 on September 1st, as their vaccine rollout ramps up. Unfortunately, the quarantine free travel bubble between Australia and New Zealand is still on pause due to the current outbreak.
