Description
Border crossings include all arrivals and departures, either for short-term trips or longer-term migration, by people living overseas or in New Zealand. Border crossings can be further classified into three main passenger types:
- visitors from overseas making short-term trips (less than 12 months)
- New Zealand residents making short-term trips
- migrants (people changing their country of residence).
This breakdown is not immediately known at the time of border crossing but becomes available with the processing of arrival cards and migration estimation.
