International Shooters coming to NZ
All pistol shooters coming to New Zealand for a competition need to complete the following documentation.
1. Visitors Firearms License and Permit to Import firearms
Online via NZ Police website:
Secure online application
You must include:
a copy of the ID and photo page of your passport
a copy of your Firearms Licence
This information will come to Pistol NZ - for our information only - so you must ensure that you complete this process or you will not be permitted to bring your firearms into the country.
Note:
Both of these forms of identification are needed to support your application. You must have a temporary NZ firearms license to shoot in New Zealand even though you may not be bringing firearms with you. The NZ Police
do not communicate with you about whether there is an issue or not. Pistol NZ no longer advises the Airport Police of incoming shooters. When the Police issue the Import Permit they will advise the Airport Police
themselves of your pending arrival
2. Registration for the event
The Police will be seeking verification from Pistol NZ that the incoming shooter is coming for a legitimate competition. We need to receive your Event registration form before you send your visitors firearms
license application to the NZ Police.
Place to send this information to is:
Email address for scanned papers (PREFERRED METHOD):
exec@pistolnz.org.nz
Note:
Please make sure that you send your entry form and payment direct to the Event Organiser as well as Pistol NZ will not be forwarding the information.
Postal:

P O Box 391

3. MFAT Export of Strategic Goods form (PDF)
Changes in exportation laws now require approval for you to export your firearms (to yourself). You need to complete the form highlighted and include with it a copy of the Import
Permit you obtain from your own country. In the case of Australia we know this to be the B709a.
Place to send this information to is:

Notes:
The Executive Officer for Pistol New Zealand does not handle these papers. You need to send them direct to the place indicated. Whilst there are some who would advise that this is not required, we are advised by the
NZ Police that it is and we do not want any of our people to provide the "test case". MFAT will contact the incoming shooter directly.
WE HOPE YOU HAVE A HAPPY, SAFE AND SUCCESSFUL TRIP TO NEW ZEALAND
