The Niue Passenger Arrival Card: What You Need to Know

New Online Passenger Arrival Card System

According to the Niue Immigration Office, there’s a new online system for completing your Passenger Arrival Card. You can now fill out the digital form at the Niue Government website before your trip. But don’t forget, you’ll still need to complete a physical card when you arrive. Just jot down your name on the front, then flip it over to complete the Customs and Biosecurity sections. It’s that easy!

The Niue Passenger Arrival Card – Front of Form

The front of the Niue Passenger Arrival Card looks like this and asks questions about your personal details and information on your visit to Niue. Make sure you have your travel ticket (flight ticket/boarding pass) and passport available, as you will need to use information from these documents in order to complete the form.

Only visitors to Niue need to complete Section B of the form. This section asks for your expected length of stay in Niue, as well as a simple multiple-choice question to show the main reason for your visit. It will also ask what sort of permit (visa) you are arriving in Niue with. In most cases, you will just need to tick “Visitors permit”. Finally, it will ask if you have been convicted, imprisoned, deported or removed from any country. Advertisement is also displayed down the side of the form.

Once you have completed the front of the Passenger Arrival Card, turn over the card to complete the rest of the form.

The Niue Passenger Arrival Card – Back of Form

The back of the Niue Passenger Arrival Card has a section for Niue citizens/residents to complete, which visitors can leave blank, as well as three sections of declarations: Customs, Biosecurity and Health. You must tick “Yes” or “No” to all of the declaration questions asked, even if you are unsure. If you are unsure of your answer, tick “Yes”. For more advice on this section of the form, see What to Declare When Arriving in Niue.

At the bottom of the form, you must sign and date.

On the left side of the form are notes giving additional information on how to answer the declaration sections. This is a good guide to refer to if you are unsure of any questions.

8 Tips for Completing the Niue Passenger Arrival Card

1. Arrival cards must be completed for each passenger arriving in Niue, including children and infants
2. Pack a black- or blue-ink pen in your carry-on luggage to complete the Niue Passenger Arrival Card during your flight, as pens are not always provided on flights, and waiting to use pens at the airport can slow down your arrival process
3. Write in capital letters and in English
4. Passenger Arrival Cards are also available at the arrival area of Hanan Airport, just in case you miss getting a card during the flight
5. If you don’t have an occupation or job to fill in the appropriate field, simply put “unemployed”
6. If going to Niue to travel or for a holiday, ticking “holiday” in Section B on the front of the Arrival Card is usually the most appropriate answer. Otherwise, your type of permit is an indication of what reason you are visiting, e.g. Study permit, Work permit, etc. See Niue Visa Guide: Do You Need a Visa to Visit Niue? for more information.
7. For the Customs, Biosecurity and Health sections, answer “yes” if you are unsure of the answer. False declarations can incur penalties. Get more advice in Arrival Advice: Biosecurity and Customs in Niue.
8. If you have completed an Online Passenger Arrival Form, you still need to write your Name on the front of the card and Customs and Biosecurity questions on the back.
