Step 1: Immigration.
Immigration officials mainly check passports, visas and entry registration cards and ask some simple questions, such as? What's the purpose of coming to New Zealand? How long are you going to stay? If it cannot be expressed accurately, the entry-exit inspection will generally arrange free translation services. When the inspector stamps your passport with the entry stamp, it means that everything is correct and you are approved to enter the country.
Step 2: Baggage claim.
When you pick up your checked baggage, you should check your baggage to avoid taking it by mistake. If the baggage is damaged or has not arrived, please contact the airport baggage office directly.

safe
1. New Zealand's road system is a British-maritime federal system, driving on the left. When crossing the road, you should look to the right first, then to the left. Pedestrians with the Banma line want to cross the street. I suggest you take the zebra crossing, and the traffic will automatically stop to make way for you. In other cases, you must strictly obey the traffic rules.
2. New Zealand is one of the safest tourist destinations in the world, with a low crime rate. However, we suggest that your personal money and valuables, such as your passport and camera, should be taken with you when you travel, not in the parked car.
There are no snakes or other dangerous wild animals in New Zealand, so you can go outdoors safely.
Check into a hotel
