Digital Passenger Declaration to Replace Incoming Passenger Card

[Pushka]

If you go into each of the options again and answer the questions you can resubmit.

But doing that doesn’t change anything if it’s already been completed. Still no email here.

Why are we being subjected to this carp, when virtually nowhere else in the (civilised) world does this?

It's bureaucratic excess of the worst kind, and the end result for Australia is pretty much zero (the passenger card processing section at the Immigration Dept was part of my responsibilities in the dim and distant past).

Yes we know but I downloaded the DPD again and stored on phone.

It's a poor system that appears to have been written by the trainees with very little UAT.

Personally I don't like to be forced into using technology for everything.

So, New Zealand is not civilised? You have to do much the same going into New Zealand plus upload a test certificate.

I have entered SIN twice this weekend and each time I filled out an online form (although you can do it for up to three imminent entries on the one submission).

I am returing to OZ today and have done the DPD - last night I too received communication stating it was incomplete. Not gunna worry about it.

Has anyone done the same day Status Run with Transit @ AKL recently? Do you need a RAT with associated paperwork? Does QF still issue both Boarding Passes when departing AUS or can you get it @ AKL QF club? Was quick/simple pre Covid.

I've just completed my DPD about an hour ago. No emails yet. Parts of it seemed pre-populated from the last one. Have to be careful not to leave any remnants from previous as destination in Australia is different.

You will need the negative test and completed traveller pass to check in for the flight to nz.

Government announced a few weeks ago the pre departure test requirement will be removed well before 31 July 2022. Silence since then on actual date it will be lifted.

Transit passengers don't need a pre-departure test if transiting.

You do if need to go landside

Would transit passengers need to go landside at AKL. I am not familiar with that process.

Depends what time your flights are, there is another thread following the NZ status runs, and the gist is that you can not transit if you are arriving on the mid-night flight and departing at 6am.
Have a look at the Choose your reward thread, a couple are doing runs this weekend.

Qantas "Choose your reward" Promo. Select from Double Status Credits OR Double Points [book 25/3/22-1/4/22]

So for those doing NZ SC runs, am I reading correctly that you can't international transit currently in NZ? I have a run to AKL from MEL (via SYD) in August that is tight so am wondering if I will need to change one of the flights to have a bigger gap. I think AKL you can. CHC you can't

Would you need to leave the terminal if you arrive at midnight, not that I'm likely to need that? However, in the other direction it would be possible to do WLG-SYD-WLG in one day, though a long wait at SYD between flights. I have done that in the past, but went to a meeting in the city.

 

[Beano]

I thought the rule was within 24 hours, so even if you arrive at midnight you have until midnight the next day. I see AKL is open 24 hours so should be possible.

My wrong, email arrived but went in to junk mail. All OK.

But if you were a Singapore citizen or resident, that online form literally takes 10 seconds to fill.
The DPD on the other hand....

Takes about 3mins the first time.

Hint ... don't use the app.

The desktop interface took me about 90 seconds.

 

[Beano]

Not too much of a hassle for me either on my desktop this time. Last time it was the app and no hassles then. Just had to find out when I had my shots.

 

[Lynda2475]

. don't use the app

Disagree app is easier, web you have to type in stuff which is auto populated in the app
