Climate
The north of New Zealand is subtropical and the south temperate. The warmest months are December, January and February, and the coldest June, July and August.
In summer, the average maximum temperature ranges between 20-30ΊC and in winter between 10-15ΊC. You can check on weather conditions in New Zealand on the New Zealand
While these temperatures are the norm, the weather in New Zealand can change unexpectedly as cold fronts or tropical cyclones quickly blow in. Because of this, you should be prepared for sudden changes in weather and temperature, particularly if youre going hiking or doing other outdoor activities.
Recommended Clothing
Dress is informal and relaxed on most occasions. Smart casual clothes are acceptable at most restaurants and night-spots. Men are generally not expected to wear suits and ties, except in a few of the top formal bars and restaurants in major cities.
In summer a jacket and sweater should be included in your luggage should the weather turn cooler or you visit higher altitudes. You can expect some rain, so also include a light rainproof jacket or coat. If visiting between May and September, pack warm winter garments and layer your clothing.
Border Control
 New Zealand controls the entry of people, aircraft, ships and goods to its borders through a range of government agencies.
These include:
- the New Zealand Immigration Service,
- New Zealand Customs Service, and
- the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry.
The Ministry of Tourism contributes to discussion and policy development on border control issues because they affect international visitors to our country. Our objective is to ensure that border control arrangements, while protecting New Zealand borders we usually do not impose unnecessary or inappropriate delays or costs on travellers.
The Ministry sits on the New Zealand Air Facilitation Committee (FAL), an inter-agency group including airport authorities and airlines which addresses facilitation of air passengers at the border. |
Visas to attend Oceanic Travel Mart.
 The New Zealand Immigration Service (NZIS) sets and implements New Zealand`s policy regarding visas.
Relevant to tourism are:
- visitor visas,
- working holiday visas and
- transit visas.
Most tourists do not require a visa for a stay of up to 3 months. Thanks to visa waiver agreements, visitors from our major tourist markets fall into this category. Exceptions include some emerging markets, such as China and some smaller markets. But if you need a visa to attend Oceanic Travel Mart - please contact us support@godsownplace.com with the subject line- Visa
New Zealand also runs a working holiday visa scheme with some countries, allowing visitors to work as they travel the country.
The NZIS consults the Ministry of Tourism on any changes to immigration policy that may affect tourism, like the application or removal of visa-free status from a particular country or changes in charges associated with visas.
The tourism implications are balanced by the NZIS against issues such as wider immigration policy, international protocols and security issues.
