ENTRY REGIME FOR CITIZENS OF THE REPUBLIC OF SERBIA DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC
Travelers entering New Zealand will no longer need to provide proof that they are fully vaccinated, that is, that they have received at least two doses of the approved vaccine against COVID-19, nor that they have a negative PCR or antigen test.
Incoming travelers will not need to self-test for Covid-19 after arriving in New Zealand (on the first and fifth day), but it is recommended that they do so.
Only those who test positive for Covid-19 will have to self-isolate for a period of 7 days.
Also, it is no longer mandatory to fill out the NZ Traveler Declaration (https://www.travellerdeclaration.govt.nz/), and after that, get a digital pass (Traveller Pass).
Travellers will still need to complete the Passenger Arrival Card, which is handed out onboard your flight to New Zealand. The New Zealand Traveller Declaration will be reintroduced in the middle of 2023 and will replace the paper Passenger Arrival Card.
Masks will not be required on international flights to New Zealand or on domestic flights.
It is important to remember that airlines, vessel operators and other countries may have specific requirements that travellers need to comply with.
