Travel smart with the New Zealand High Commission

Whether you’re prepping for a holiday, relocating for work, or settling into life in Singapore, there’s one simple step that can ease your peace of mind while overseas: registering with SafeTravel (safetravel.govt.nz), New Zealand’s official travel advisory and registration platform. While it only takes a few minutes, registration plays a vital role in keeping you safe, informed, and firmly connected to the New Zealand Government wherever your adventures take you.

SafeTravel provides up-to-date travel advisories, security information, and practical guidance for New Zealanders abroad. Before you jet off, it’s your go-to source for understanding local conditions, entry requirements, health considerations, and potential risks that may affect your journey. These advisories are regularly updated, giving you a reliable foundation for making informed decisions, wherever you’re headed.

Feel reassured

SafeTravel is not just for short-term travellers. If you’re a Kiwi living in Singapore (or any other country), registering is just as important as emergencies don’t only affect visitors; they can impact residents too. When natural disasters, major incidents, or unexpected events occur, our ability to support you relies on being able to contact you quickly. SafeTravel is the official channel the New Zealand High Commission uses to reach citizens in such cases.

By registering, you give us a protected way to get in touch if something urgent happens. This could be a security situation, major weather event, or an emergency affecting New Zealanders locally. Registration lets you receive critical updates or advice tailored to your location. Your information is kept confidential and used only for consular purposes.

SafeTravel also helps loved ones back home to feel reassured. In a crisis, families often contact the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MFAT). If you’re registered, we can confirm your status faster and help reduce stress for those at home.

Whether you travel frequently, live overseas permanently, or are just passing through, registering with SafeTravel is an essential habit. If you have yet to register, don’t delay! And if you’re already on SafeTravel, take a moment to ensure your details are current and complete.

You can reach us on our 24/7 Emergency Line at +64 9 920 2020 for urgent consular assistance anywhere in the world.
