The New Zealand Government is making travel easier for United States and United Kingdom residents, with ePassport holders from both nations now allowed to use the SmartGate system on departure.

“Building on the success and popularity of SmartGate with New Zealanders and Australians, the system is now being made available to eligible US and UK ePassport holders departing New Zealand,” said New Zealand’s Customs Minister, Maurice Williamson.

“I’m sure eligible passengers will be just as impressed with how quick and easy it is to use the technology,” he said.
