Pets

You’ll need to leave your pets at home when you come to New Zealand. We have very strict regulations to protect our environment. So it’s an expensive and lengthy  process to bring cats or dogs into New Zealand, often taking more than six months. Only people who are planning to live permanently in New Zealand should consider doing this.
