Frequently Asked Questions

For travellers who do not need a visa, arrival is usually a standard immigration and biosecurity queue: passport, incoming passenger information, and declaration of food or plant items. Many nationalities, including Australia, New Zealand, the EU and the USA, may stay up to 120 days without a visa. You may be asked for an onward or return ticket. Recheck the official list before you fly, because rules can change.
Carry a passport valid for at least six months beyond your stay, your return or onward ticket if asked, and completed arrival and biosecurity declarations, plus details of where you will stay.
