People wanting to come to New Zealand have tried using bots, and are resorting to paying freelancers to try to secure spots in managed isolation facilities. Currently there are no places available on the MIQ booking site. Some people desperate to secure a place had been able to book vouchers with fake booking reference numbers, while others have booked multiple dates. Demand for MIQ vouchers was currently high, but there was generally a significant number of people on the site searching for an available date. The Government operates a booking system, which requires people to also secure a flight before they can get an MIQ voucher.
