Illustration for Intelligence and Security Act 2017

If you are in charge of a commercial craft, like a plane or a ship, you have some responsibilities. You must get certain information from every person who wants to travel to or from New Zealand on your craft. This information is called advance passenger processing information. You need to give this information to the chief executive before your craft leaves for New Zealand. You can find more information about this in the Immigration Act 2009. The chief executive can decide to exempt you from some or all of these requirements in certain circumstances.
