Driving in New Zealand
New Zealand practices left lane driving. For those students who
intend to drive in New Zealand , they need to have a non-probationary
license in their country of residence for a minimum of three years. The
students will only be able to drive those types of vehicles for which
were licensed in their country of origin.
For those students who hold a valid overseas driver license with photo
on it, the students can use the license for up to a year without having
to get an international driving license.
For those students who do not have a photo on their overseas driving
licenses, the students need to obtain an international driver license.
This should be obtained before leaving your country of origin.
For students who are going to be driving in New Zealand for longer than
one year, the students must upgrade to a full New Zealand driver
license. If the students were to be here in New Zealand for one year,
their overseas driving license will no longer be valid for driving in
New Zealand .

values of 5, 10, 20 and 50 cents, $1 and $2, and notes with values of
$5, $10, $20, $50 and $100.There is no restriction on the amount of
