Guide to luggage preparation before entering New Zealand

I have successfully obtained a student visa to New Zealand, so there is a very important step to make my study abroad life smoother, and that is to pack my bags before departure. This article will sort out the luggage preparation instructions before entering New Zealand for everyone. Let's have a look.

I. Important documents

Passport: It is recommended to copy the passport home page and visa page on A4 paper as background.

Learning certificates: original offer, proof of payment of tuition and accommodation fees, school transcripts and notarization of academic qualifications, original ielts test report form, etc.

Photos: It is best to prepare photos above 10, and the shooting time is within half a year.

Driver's license: If you have a domestic driver's license, you may wish to bring the original. After being translated by a translation agency designated by New Zealand, you can drive directly in New Zealand with the translation, valid for 1 year.

Others include: birth notarization, crime-free notarization, important telephone directory (telephone numbers of schools and host families in China and New Zealand, etc. Are recorded on it).

Second, capital.

Cash: cash within NZD 65,438+00,000 (about 46,000 RMB) is not required to be declared.

UnionPay card: At present, some merchants in New Zealand can use UnionPay cards for transactions. Banks in New Zealand, such as ANZ Bank, BNZ Bank and Kaiwei Bank, can also allow UnionPay card holders to withdraw cash directly (exchange rate conversion is required and handling fees are paid). After coming to New Zealand, it is recommended to apply for local bank cards and credit cards in New Zealand immediately.

VISA card: if it is a domestic ordinary VISA card, the scope of use is the same as that of UnionPay card, and it also needs exchange rate conversion and handling fee.

E-banking: If you have an e-banking account in China, remember to bring a security U-shield.

Electronic payment: In New Zealand, most Chinese-run shops have opened Alipay or WeChat payment functions. For New Zealand locals, Apple Pay is becoming more and more common.

Third, life is related to life.

The North Island of New Zealand is not hot in summer, and the highest temperature is generally around 27-28 degrees Celsius. The temperature difference between morning and evening is large, summer is short, and winter is not cold. In contrast, the spring and autumn seasons are longer, so the clothes in the four seasons should be mainly in spring and autumn.

Formal dress: such as shirts, trousers, shoes, belts, ties, pins, etc.

Down jacket: North Island, especially Auckland, basically does not need down jackets, and you can bring down jackets that you can stay in. If you are really afraid of the cold, you can bring gloves, cotton caps and so on.

Shoes: casual shoes, sports shoes, running shoes, hiking shoes, basketball shoes, slippers, flip-flops, etc.

Sunhat and sunglasses: New Zealand is particularly hot in summer. Sunshade or sunglasses will be your good partner for summer travel! In addition to sunglasses, there are 6 boxes of myopia glasses, contact lenses and nursing liquid, and eye drops (3 boxes of anti-fatigue and 3 boxes of antibiotics).

Cold medicine: Don't bring Contek! Never bring Contek! Contek contains ephedrine, which can be refined into poison and is a prohibited item in New Zealand.

All drugs containing ephedrine and pseudoephedrine are prohibited from being brought into the country.

Socket: If there are many electronic products, don't forget to bring a patch panel. Generally speaking, the patch panel is more important than anything else. The voltage standard of New Zealand electrical appliances is 230/240 volts, and the general socket is a three-wire socket.

Mobile phone card: it is recommended to roam in the domestic business hall. In rare cases, domestic mobile phones can be used to receive SMS verification codes sent by domestic websites.
