From 7 November, you can no longer transit New Zealand to China. The Chinese Government has introduced new health testing requirements for COVID-19. There are currently no testing facilities in the transit area of New Zealand airports.
If you have already been granted a transit visa you will no longer be able to use this. If you are eligible to transit New Zealand on an NZeTA you will not be able to do so. If you attempt to transit you will not be able to board the flight.
INZ is no longer accepting any further transit visa applications for transit to China. If you submit a transit visa application, it is likely to be declined.
Transit travellers cannot enter New Zealand to undertake any testing requirements for COVID-19.
New Zealand cannot consider any special request or exemptions. Please refer to the Chinese embassy for any requests or further information.
