New Zealand announces relaxation of entry and quarantine regulations for the first time since the beginning of the corona pandemic. However, it depends on your passport whether you can enter Germany for tourist purposes from July 2022 or October 2022.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced that people who hold visa-free citizenship will be able to holiday in New Zealand again from July 2022. This applies, for example, to people with a British or Australian passport. However, the 1G rule will be practiced.

From the end of February 2022, your own citizens who are currently in Australia will be allowed to enter the country again without quarantine. The prerequisite is that they are fully vaccinated against Covid-19. Citizens from other parts of the world are to follow in mid-March 2022. Under certain circumstances, a quarantine of seven to ten days may still be required. This depends primarily on the current infection process.

New Zealand does not want to open up to international tourism until October 2022. One will then practice the 1G rule. It is still unclear whether you also have to submit a negative PCR test or not. The government has been pursuing the so-called zero-Covid strategy for a long time. Initially, this was successful, but this has been considered a failure at the latest since the appearance of the Delta variant.
