## Description

NZTD is a Chrome extension that helps travelers to New Zealand prepare their New Zealand Traveller Declaration (NZTD) before departure. You can submit it up to 24 hours before your trip, and most declarations take about 10 minutes to complete in English. It supports offline entry and allows updates anytime up to the border.

Key features include scanning your passport to auto-fill details, creating multiple declarations (for children or dependents), and offline mode for use on flights or when you’re out of Wi‑Fi. You must be online to start or submit. After submission, you won’t need to print or show a QR code—the NZTD will automatically appear when your passport is scanned at the border.

## Review summary

Users broadly praise NZTD for being easy to use, fast, and helpful for pre-filling travel declarations, saving paper, and managing data for multiple travelers. Common issues include confusing visa- and NZETA-related labeling, fragmented flow between apps, and cruise-ship scenarios lacking suitable fields (addresses, contacts, multi-location stays). Some users want better options to edit or continue previously started forms. Accessibility and navigation can suffer with larger text settings. Overall, it is a practical, efficient tool, but onboarding clarity and cruise-agnostic design improvements would enhance adoption and accuracy.

### Pros

- Very easy to use and user-friendly interface with straightforward navigation.
- Pre-fills information ahead of time, speeding travel preparation.
- Saves paper and provides a streamlined, paperless process.
- Can refill data for other travelers in the same party, simplifying group travel.
- Efficient, simple UI for collecting required information.

### Cons

- Confusing visa/visa waiver flow and unclear labeling (NZETA vs visa; ambiguity between ‘entry class visa’ and ‘visa on arrival’).
- Cruise-ship users face missing fields (addresses/contacts) and unsupported multi-location itineraries.
- Difficulty editing or continuing a declaration started on the web; lack of easy prefill for other travelers.
- Accessibility and navigation can be hard when iOS text size is large; text zoom affects usability.
