FINAL CALL!
UK ETA from 25 February 2026. The entry requirements for business and leisure travellers to the United Kingdom change from 25 February 2026. New Zealand citizens who also hold British or Irish citizenship (dual nationals) must travel to the UK using:
- a valid UK passport
- valid Irish passport
- another valid passport with a Certificate of Entitlement.
Travellers will not be permitted to travel without one of these documents.
Most importantly, some New Zealand passport holders who were born in NZ and who have never applied for a UK passport, but whose Father was born in the UK need to refer to the British High Commission website – you may be a dual citizen ‘by default’ without realising this. Therefore, you will require a UK passport or a Certificate of Entitlement.
Rental cars New Zealand. Yes, it’s that time of year again where our Corporate Clients have returned to business, which coincides head-on with the international inbound tourist season. Our usual annual message goes out to Corporate Travel bookers to book as far in advance as possible for rental vehicles right through until Easter (at least 2-3 weeks in advance). There is significant demand and very little availability for rental cars around the country. If you are unsure if a business trip will proceed, then have us pencil a rental car for you nonetheless; it’s far easier to cancel a booking than to find a car.
