From: Felix Lee
Dear New Zealand Customs Service,
Thank you for your reply to my previous request of OIA 24-759.
I would like to make another request since early 2025 has passed and no updates have been implemented
I would like to request the timetable about using eGate in NZ for Hong Kong SAR, Macau SAR, and British National (Overseas) passport users.
I have family who need to renew their visa and therefore would like to know which passport would facilitate their travels.
Thank you for your help
Yours faithfully,
Felix Lee
