Dear Customs,
Thank you for your email.
Currently, when you take your NZ passport overseas, you can use the eGate in certain overseas countries, but not for many other countries. I would like to know are there plans for more foreign countries to accept the NZ passport at their eGates.
Thank you for your help
Yours sincerely,
Felix Lee
