Answer
Yes — this passport issuer is on New Zealand's current eGate list, if the other conditions are met.
Other conditions
- An eligible ePassport is required.
- Minimum age 10.
- Arrival formalities such as the New Zealand Traveller Declaration remain separate.
Why the answer is cautious
Passport issuer is only one part of automated-border eligibility. Entry permission, document validity, operational availability and an officer's decision remain separate.
