Borders In New Zealand Are Now Fully Open Again, Immigrants Are Elated

New Zealand was one of the first countries to close its borders when the COVID-19 disease was declared by the World Health Organization to be a pandemic. The government did this to ensure that they were able to contain the spread of the virus and keep the health and safety of the people in the country intact. It was successfully able to do so with its strict COVID-19 restrictions and its proper handling of the situation. However, this has also been a bane for many potential immigrants and approved immigrants to New Zealand. They were unable to move to the country because of the restrictions and the closed borders.

 

Now that there have been a lot of improvements in how the pandemic has been handled, many countries have already opened up their borders and have also relaxed their restrictions. While New Zealand may have been one of the first countries to close up, it has also been one of the last countries to relax these. It is a good thing that it has finally decided to reopen its borders and relax its restrictions.

 

The reopening of borders

 

New Zealand closed its borders in March 2020. After over two years, it has finally reopened its borders and lifted its COVID-19 restrictions. Many immigrants are now elated that it means that they can now enter the country as they have planned before the pandemic happened. Even Jacinda Arden, the prime minister of New Zealand, has announced that the country is now, once again, open for business. The final stage of all the preparations that the country had been doing to reopen has finally been done just this Sunday.

 

Aside from immigrants who can now join the country as they have planned, other people who have plans on going to New Zealand can now do so. Visitors can enter the country once again. Individuals with student visas and those who come from countries that are non-visa waivers like India and China can now also enter the country. This is a big thing not only for New Zealand but also for the individuals who have plans to travel to New Zealand.

 

People are welcome in New Zealand

 

Arden has also said that the closed borders may have made people look at New Zealand in a bad light, but she is reassuring everyone that the country is actually the home to very hospitable and welcoming people. It is something that flows through their veins and that is why the reopening of the borders would allow them to practice this once again. They just had been delayed with their reopening because they had to go through a lot of preparations to ensure the safety of everyone.
