Exercise increased caution

Overview

There are more significant safety or security concerns than you would usually find in New Zealand, particularly because of terrorism and civil unrest. Check the advice of the US National Terror Advisory System when making travel plans.

There is a higher incidence of violent crime and firearm possession than in New Zealand.

Other things that New Zealanders travelling or living in the United States should be aware of are:

  • Active shooter incidents—find advice on how to respond on the US Department of Homeland Security website.
  • Crime—watch out for petty crime, such as theft, especially in urban centres, tourist areas, and on public transport.
  • Natural disasters and severe weather—follow the advice of local authorities and let whānau in New Zealand know you’re safe. 
  • Entry requirements—the US government has strict rules for entering and staying in the country.

 See below for detailed travel advice.
