Passport

Documents supporting visa application

University acceptance letter

Accommodation acceptance letter

Passport-size photo

Latest medical or health report

Driving license (if you wish to drive in NZ)

Prescription for essential medication

*you may also want to bring with you a copy of your foundation programme final results, just in case. As for those who will still be under 18 when you reach New Zealand, you might want to bring an approval/authorization letter signed by your guardian.

As for clothing, it is up to you what you bring. However this piece of information on the weather in New Zealand might help:

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 20-30ºC and in winter between 10-15ºC. 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 you’re going hiking or doing other outdoor activities.
