What are the restrictions on the amount of cash that I can bring into New Zealand?


In Money and Credit Cards

There is no restriction on the amount of foreign currency that you can bring into or take out of New Zealand. You are allowed to bring in any amount of cash, whether it's in New Zealand dollars or foreign currency. However, if you are carrying NZ$10,000 or more in cash when entering or leaving New Zealand, you are required to complete a Border Cash Report to declare the amount being transported. This reporting requirement is in place to monitor the movement of large amounts of cash and to prevent money laundering and illegal activities.
