Subject: Official Information request - eGate planned countries

 

Dear New Zealand Customs Service,

 

Thank you for your response in OIA 23-222 last year where you noted "our
intentions are to progressively enable further countries over 2024" for
eGate access.

 

I would like to request an update for this. Please let me know:

 

- the countries/territories where there are plans to let them use the NZ
eGates, including those with plans that are finalized or not finalized. If
possible please give an indication on completion date for each, a rough
estimate is OK.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Felix Lee
