Returning Kiwis now need to stay in NZ twice as long to avoid paying MIQ fees

June 1, 2021

Starting today, citizens and residents need to stay at least 180 days — twice the previous requirement.

Returning New Zealanders will now need to stay in the country longer to avoid paying managed isolation fees.

From today, citizens and residents have to remain in the country for at least 180 days, otherwise they'll be slapped with a quarantine bill for at least $3000. Previously, the required stay in New Zealand was 90 days.

The shake-up is estimated to affect about three per cent of returning New Zealanders.
