If Newt Scamander could disappeared why did he travel to New York by boat??

Just watching the Fantastic Beasts film and realised one massive error that isn t explained.

There may be some spoilers here so if you don t want to know stop reading now!!

At the beginning Newt comes into New York by boat and has to deal with customs and hide the creatures, and at the end he also leaves New York by boat, but in the movie he apparates to various locations, we also know from other HP books that wizards can apparate over long distances - the tri wizard cup for example.

So why did Newt come in and out of NYC by a long boat journey when he could have just apparated in???

    Because wizards can't apparate long distances. For the Quidditch cup portkeys were used and the students from the other 2 schools used different forms of transport to get to Hogwarts.

    perhaps its much more difficult further away. perhaps there are regulations about apparating in and out of other countries. makes sense that countries wouldn't want unrestricted travel between borders at certain times. there may even be spells around the borders of each country to prevent apparition in and out, like hogwarts.
