Information for International Visitors
Passports and Visa
All non-New Zealand citizens must obtain a Passport before travelling to New Zealand. Also, delegates who do not hold Australian nationality or permanent residence should contact a travel agent or their local New Zealand Consulate regarding visas and entry requirements. Please see New Zealand “Passports and Visas” information at:
The ANS 2011 organisers cannot take responsibility for obtaining visas.
Travel and Arrival
It is strongly recommended that international visitors from Europe and America allow at least one day in which to adjust to the time difference. Travellers crossing the Pacific will lose one day when crossing the International Date Line.
Medical and Travel Insurance
It is strongly recommended that international visitors seek advice and take out appropriate travel insurance and medical cover. Overseas visitors are required to pay in full all medical expenses incurred while in New Zealand. The conference organisers accept no responsibility for any participant failing to arrange their own insurance.
