What necessary items and luggage should I prepare to study in New Zealand?

For students who are going to study in New Zealand, they must prepare their luggage in advance. Many students who study in New Zealand for the first time don't know much about the list of necessary items for studying in New Zealand. Next, I will tell you what necessary items and luggage you need to prepare to study in New Zealand.

I. Necessary items for studying in New Zealand

1, very important file

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.

Air ticket: You can buy a one-way air ticket, which will be checked by customs officers when you enter the country.

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).

2. Cash expenditure

Cash: You don't need to bring 65,438+00,000 New Zealand dollars (about 46,000 RMB) in cash.

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.

New Zealand's power sockets are big three sockets, which are different from the specifications of many China household appliances. Therefore, when preparing luggage, international students mainly prepare several patch panels and three or two plugs; In addition, rechargeable batteries, chargers, computers, rice cookers, mobile phones, cameras, telephone lines, telephones and electronic dictionaries are also essential electrical appliances.

4. medicine

New Zealand Customs has very strict regulations on drugs. Foreign students should pay more attention to carrying drugs to avoid being fined for drugs. Foreign students are advised to bring cold medicine, powder-removing medicine, toothache medicine, dermatitis medicine, hemostatic medicine, cooling oil, throat-moistening tablets and some anti-inflammatory drugs. If foreign students have other commonly used drugs, they should also bring them.

5. Stationery

The price of stationery products in New Zealand is relatively low. If international students have no special preference, they can buy many stationery products in New Zealand. In addition, foreign students reduce the number of books they carry in the process of luggage preparation, because many materials are available online, and because books are relatively heavy and easy to be overweight.

Three. Matters needing attention in studying in New Zealand

1, the "first stop" into New Zealand.

The first stop may be the airport. When you come to New Zealand, Auckland, Wellington or Christchurch, there are three airports to choose from. Auckland is the largest city in New Zealand, and many international students will go to Auckland or transfer through Auckland Airport.

You can take the free shuttle bus from the airport to the boarding point of international and domestic flights every 5 minutes. Many staff from overseas schools or educational institutions will meet you at the airport and accompany you to your place of residence.

Airport transfers may be charged. If students arrange their own transportation, they can choose a taxi, airport shuttle bus or bus.

2. airport precautions

At the airport, everyone has to be inspected by the Customs, Immigration Bureau and the Ministry of Agriculture to prevent prohibited items, harmful substances or diseases from entering New Zealand. At the airport security check, you are not allowed to carry other people's luggage and parcels, only your own belongings.

It is particularly important to note that foreign students who carry prescription drugs or restricted drugs must issue a doctor's prescription certificate. The amount of three prescription drugs carried in the original packaging should not exceed 3 months at most, and the amount of restricted drugs should not exceed 1 month at most.

3. What is the most important thing after arriving in New Zealand?

The Embassy of China in Wellington and the Consulate of Auckland require all international students who come to New Zealand to report to educational institutions immediately upon their arrival in New Zealand. The embassy and consulate will put your documents on record. This is very important and must be taken seriously. After students return to China, they will issue a certificate of studying abroad for your job search.
