Licence Requirements

New Zealand is a ‘hunter friendly’ destination but you will require a firearm import permit if bringing a firearm into the country.

Research the New Zealand Police website by looking up ‘Visitor’s firearms licence and import permits’.

The Visitors Firearms Licence and Permit to Import Firearms Form can be completed online. On task bar, go to tools and forms, scroll down past ‘How to submit’, to ‘Application for Visitors Firearms Licence’ and follow the instructions. NB you will need to create a  RealMe login and password (record this somewhere for later use).
