Planning Your Trip to New Zealand? Here’s What You Should Know

Definition:

New Zealand isn’t just a destination — it’s an adventure. Stretching across two main islands and featuring everything from stunning landscapes to vibrant cities, it’s no surprise that millions flock here each year. Here’s what you need to know before you pack your bags.

A Safe, Diverse, and Welcoming Country

New Zealand is often ranked among the safest and most livable countries worldwide. Its culture embraces inclusion, tolerance, and diversity — you’ll hear various languages in the streets and discover communities from all over the globe.

Whether you’re wandering the charming streets of Wellington, hiking in Fiordland, or savoring the culinary delights in Auckland, you’ll encounter friendly locals and top-notch infrastructure wherever you go.

Travel Health Insurance: Strongly Recommended

While New Zealand has a robust healthcare system, it’s not free for visitors. Medical expenses can be steep — even a brief hospital visit could cost hundreds or thousands of dollars.

We highly recommend securing travel health insurance before your arrival. A comprehensive policy should cover:

Emergency medical care
Hospital stays
Ambulance services
Prescription medications
COVID-19 related treatment, if necessary

Some regions may require proof of insurance upon entry, especially for longer stays.

Additional Entry Tips

Proof of Funds: Border officials may request proof that you can financially support yourself during your stay.
Return Ticket: While not compulsory, having a return or onward ticket can strengthen your entry case.
No Work or Study: An eTA doesn’t permit employment or academic study — separate permits are needed.

Seasons & Weather: Plan Accordingly

New Zealand’s climate varies significantly by region and season.

Summer (Dec–Feb): Expect warm weather, perfect for outdoor adventures.
Winter (Jun–Aug): Cold and ideal for skiing, especially in the South Island.
Shoulder Seasons (Spring & Autumn): Great for travel — fewer crowds and beautiful scenery.

Always check the weather forecast for your specific destination — a January in Queenstown is quite different from a January in Auckland!

Stay Connected

New Zealand uses standard Type I plugs (230V)
Major cities offer excellent Wi-Fi coverage, and SIM cards or eSIMs are readily available.
Apps like the NZ COVID Tracer (optional for some travelers) and Google Maps will help you navigate smoothly.
