New Zealand

Starting from 13th September, i.e., today, travellers don’t need to provide proof of vaccination to enter New Zealand. The airline they are flying with, however, may still require them to produce the same.

One also does not need to take COVID-19 tests or self isolate on arrival in the country. Travellers will get free Rapid Antigen Tests (RATs) at the airport and will be encouraged to test the day they arrive and on Day 5 or 6. They will have to report the test result on the health helpline. They must still complete the New Zealand Traveller Declaration.

Starting from 4th September, quarantine is no longer mandatory for travellers arriving in Qatar. This decision was taken in time for the FIFA World Cup 2022 scheduled to kick off in November in the country. 
All visitors above the age of six, however, must take a Rapid Antigen Test (RAT) within 24 hours of arrival. 

They must also carry a negative RT-PCR test result valid for 48 hours or a Rapid Antigen Test result valid for 24 hours from their flight’s scheduled departure to the country.
