TRAVEL DETAILS
Carbon offsets We recognise that many participants will be concerned about long-distance travel to New Zealand for a conference. For participants who wish to offset the carbon used in air travel to New Zealand we recommend the New Zealand-based carboNZero programme.
Visa Requirements
Currently
travellers from more than 50 countries do not require a Visitors Visa
for stays less than 3 months. You do not need a visa or permit to visit
New Zealand if you are:

- A New Zealand citizen or Resident Permit Holder;
- An Australian citizen travelling on an Australian Passport;

However, all visitors require:
- A passport that is valid for at least three months after your departure from New Zealand;

Customs Requirements
New
Zealand has strict rules to protect its agricultural industries from
imported pests and diseases. If you bring in items such as food and
plants, these must be declared to Ministry of Agriculture and Farming
Officials. Click here to visit New Zealand Immigration site for more information.
Like
other countries, New Zealand has strict security concerning drugs,
firearms and other dangerous goods. For more information, click here to visit New Zealand Bio Security site.
Health Insurance & Vaccinations Requirements
We
recommend that you have comprehensive medical insurance for the
duration of your visit. If you are from the United Kingdom or
Australia, you will get the same immediate medical coverage as a New
Zealand citizen or resident due to the Reciprocal Health Agreements.
Vaccinations
are required if travelling to New Zealand from yellow-fever-infected
area. This is most likely to affect delegates travelling to New Zealand
from certain regions in Latin America or Africa. Please check with your
local travel agent or health centre for the vaccination requirements.
