New Zealanders visiting the United States are being cautioned about their travel, the first such update since Trump took office. The travel advice hadn’t been fully updated since 2023.

Language added to the guidance for U.S.-bound travelers included an alert that visitors “may encounter scrutiny from U.S. border authorities,” including inspection of their travel documents, reason for travel and personal belongings.

It also warned travelers to “expect strict enforcement” of entry conditions and caution of “detention, deportation and ban from re-entry” if travelers don’t comply.
