The Indian High Commission in NZ has launched a form to register Indian nationals stranded in New Zealand during Covid-19 international travel restrictions.
The purpose of this registration is to create a database of stranded Indian nationals in NZ, as it will help the High Commission of India conduct an advance preparation and planning exercise to facilitate their future travel back to India.
The Indian High Commission published a poster on its Facebook page inviting stranded Indian nationals to register themselves on a Google form: https://forms.gle/wZPGzKxXZX6t1ok48.
Those interested can also register themselves on the High Commission's website under the head 'Consular Services' - 'Registration of Stranded Indians in New Zealand'.
Due to the rise in Covid-19 pandemic, New Zealand closed its borders to anyone but residents and citizens on March 19 and the Indian government too followed by cancelling all international inbound travels from March 22.
The Indian High Commission has urged Indian nationals to follow them on social media sites, Facebook, Twitter and their website for latest updates and support messages.
