Departure cards will be a thing of the past by Monday.
International travellers will no longer have to complete a departure card when leaving New Zealand as of Monday, November 5.
Around 6.5 million departure cards are completed annually, and their removal is expected to save travellers more than 100,000 hours.
The removal of the departure cards was announced by the Immigration and Customs Ministers in August this year.
"While travellers will no longer have to complete departure cards, if they are carrying cash or currency to the value of NZ$10,000 or more they must see a Customs Officer to complete a Border Cash Report before they depart New Zealand," Terry Brown, Customs manager Customs of Border Operations.
