The Start to New Zealand :
For your Visa: Www.immigration.govt.nz
For your Flight: www.skyscanner.net or www.momondo.com or www.Expedia.com
But always compare with the airlines as well.
Enjoy the holiday with a rental car, camper or motorhome ? Then get advice well enough from www.camperoase.de the specialist team for Camper- and Motorhome Rental in New Zealand and Australia.
By the way, all offers are cheaper than at rental companies themselves and you get a great advice.

The arrival:
From the airport to your hostel:
Download the App AT Mobile for bus and train on your phone, before you arrive, to find the easiest way to your destination.
Simcards: get some from www.sparks.co.nz, www.skinny.co.nz, www.vodafone.co.nz, www.warehousemobile.co.nz.
The providers have different offers, depending on long-term or short-term stay.
Have a look which offers are the best for you.
WiFi for the beginning its available in the airport, in every McDonald's, also in the warehouse, Mitro10, libraries and in the most Hostels.
Proof of Adress to bank account opening is possible in Auckland and Christchurch in almost every hostel if you stay for a few days. Which you need to take care of your paperwork.
The bank account is the easiest to get at www.westpac.co.nz or www.kiwibank.co.nz.
It's very convenient to apply for his tax number under www.ird.govt.nz. Alternatively, there are also forms in the post office (also for the Ownership change and Rego extension).

Save money with the right Transfer
Fill up your travel fund, transfer your money, for example you buy a car or transfer your money after your journey to your home bank account.
We can recommend you two providers:
Transferwise: http://bit.ly/2A0AaXU
Currencyfair: http://bit.ly/2OcIMOg
In terms of the money transfer between two countries, especially Europe and Australia or New Zealand we search for the cheapest ways. This is best suited "Transferwise" and "Currencyfair".
It always depends on the amount of money and the destination of the transaction.
For smaller amounts, maximum 560€ (500pd) you get the first transaction for free with Transferwise. This one is also a good one from Europe to NZ or AUS and the other way around, because it has his own bank in NZ and AUS, different compared to Currencyfair who has her own bank in AUS only !
Since the 02.03.2018 Transferwise will take a fee of 1,75$ + 0,4% of the total amount at a transaction over 560€ (500Pfund) (earlier it was 0,7%).
Transferwise Link:

It's most likely to use currencyfair when you've got an amount over 1000€. It costs 3€ but with this link we get 30€ each with the first transaction.
