Aevamo’s reading

The Tokelau Immigration Regulations 1991 (SR 1991/117), made under the Tokelau Act 1948 by the Governor-General in Council, are the instrument that creates the entry obligation for Tokelau: regulation 5 prohibits a non-New-Zealand-citizen from being in Tokelau without a current permit, and regulations 3 and 4 define the only exemption (New Zealand citizens, 10 days without a permit). It imposes the requirement rather than reporting it.

Regulation 5 is the operative provision for every issuer other than New Zealand: it forbids presence in Tokelau without a current permit, so every non-New-Zealand-citizen travel document on the roster requires a permit to be applied for before travel, and the permit's own terms set the stay.

What this answer covers Limits & assumptions

Work and residence rights are separate from this check. This is the entry rule and the length of stay the instrument grants. It is not a decision about you: the officer at the border decides admission, and we do not evaluate the purpose of your trip, your passport's remaining validity, an onward ticket, funds, insurance or health requirements.
