Illustration for Arms Bill

If your visitor licence expires, or you give it back or it gets taken away, you can send any arms items or ammunition you have out of New Zealand. You can do this within a time period that the chief executive decides. This must be done with any arms items or ammunition you had when your licence expired, was given back, or was taken away.
