If you have outstanding fines or reparation in New Zealand, even just a parking ticket, you may be stopped as you enter or leave any New Zealand international airport.

To find out more or pay fines visit the website of the Collections Unit of the Ministry of Justice.

Allow at least 10 working days for the payment to be processed before embarking on any travel to New Zealand.
