    Thank you very much! It’s great to see the “gauntlet” and the process. I’m also very grateful you mentioned bringing in a shell necklace. I have a finished (coated pieces of quahog shell) one that is traditional, and would like to bring it for when I will be making a presentation.

    I'm from Austria and I've been to Switzerland, Germany, Italy, France Liechtenstein, Norway, Iceland, South Korea and Japan... but no country is THIS strict on their biosecurity!
    I can fully understand it though, because NZ is such a secluded ecosystem.
    Wonder how it'll be when I arrive after having spent a week in Taiwan.
    Thanks for the indepth look at the process. :)

    • @NZPocketGuide
      @NZPocketGuide  9 месяцев назад +1

      It's impressive to hear about all the countries you've visited! New Zealand's biosecurity measures are indeed among the strictest in the world, largely due to its unique and isolated ecosystem. They work hard to protect it from foreign pests and diseases.
      After spending time in Taiwan, it's a good idea to be extra mindful of any hiking gear, outdoor equipment, or items that have come into contact with soil or nature. It's a country on their "watchlist" so make sure everything is clean and declare anything you're unsure about upon arrival in NZ. Honesty is appreciated by the biosecurity officers, and they're there to help ensure a smooth process.

    I just have normal shoes that look a bit like trainers, would they need to be declared as well? I assumed that they weren’t outdoor equipment.
    I’ve said I have nothing to declare but this video is making me anxious that I’ll have something I don’t know about 😅

    • @NZPocketGuide
      @NZPocketGuide  16 дней назад

      Hi there!
      If your shoes have been worn outdoors, especially on trails or in natural areas, it's best to declare them when entering New Zealand. New Zealand has strict biosecurity measures to protect its unique environment from pests and diseases. Even if they look like normal trainers and seem clean, small amounts of soil or organic matter can pose a risk.
      Declaring your shoes doesn't mean you'll get into trouble. In fact, it shows you're complying with the regulations. Customs officers might inspect them to ensure they're clean, and if they are, you'll be on your way quickly.
      Don't worry too much! It's always better to declare and be safe. If you're unsure about any items, declaring them is the right choice. 😅
      For more tips on navigating New Zealand's customs and easing any travel anxieties, feel free to join our community on Patreon at patreon.com/nzpocketguide. We offer weekly group calls and a secret Facebook group where you can get personalized advice for your trip.
      Safe travels and enjoy your time in New Zealand!

    Heading to NZ in 2 weeks and was wondering where to declare my OTC pills like tylenol etc? Should I put this under food or medicine?

    • @NZPocketGuide
      @NZPocketGuide  9 месяцев назад

      Hi there! Exciting to hear you're heading to NZ soon! Regarding declaring your OTC pills like Tylenol at Auckland airport, it's best to declare them under 'medicine'. New Zealand has strict biosecurity laws to protect its unique environment, so it's always a good idea to declare any medicines or food items you're bringing into the country.
      When you arrive, simply let the biosecurity officer know you have these medications, and they'll guide you through the process. It's usually straightforward, especially for common OTC medications.

    Thanks for video, very informative. Do you need to remove your glasses when using the E-Gate? Thanks

    • @NZPocketGuide
      @NZPocketGuide  9 месяцев назад

      Hi there! I'm glad you found our video informative. Regarding your question about the E-Gate: generally, you do not need to remove your glasses when using the E-Gate for passport control, as long as they are not tinted or heavily framed. The system is designed to work with standard eyewear. However, if you have any issues or are asked by the staff, it's easy enough to remove them for the facial recognition scan.

    how about over the counter medications? Do we still need prescriptions?

    • @NZPocketGuide
      @NZPocketGuide  8 месяцев назад

      For over-the-counter (OTC) medications brought into New Zealand, you generally do not need a prescription. However, it's important to declare any medicines you're bringing into the country, including OTC medications, to comply with New Zealand's biosecurity laws. When you arrive, simply declare these items on your Passenger Arrival Card. Biosecurity officers may ask about the medications to ensure they meet New Zealand's entry requirements.
      Remember, the key is to be transparent and declare all items to ensure a smooth entry process into New Zealand.

    Can you confirm if normal shoes,sandals and trainers that are clean need to be declared in NZ Auckland.

    • @NZPocketGuide
      @NZPocketGuide  9 месяцев назад

      Yes, it's a good idea to declare your shoes, sandals, and trainers when entering New Zealand, especially if they have been used outdoors. Even if they are clean, it's best to declare them to be on the safe side. New Zealand's biosecurity laws are very strict, and footwear can carry soil, seeds, or contaminants that pose a risk to their unique ecosystem.
      When you arrive, simply inform the biosecurity officer about your footwear. They may inspect them and, if necessary, clean them. It's a straightforward process and shows respect for their biosecurity efforts.
