Animals / Pets
Cats and dogs from many countries are allowed into New Zealand after a quarantine time.
There is no need for quarantine if your pet is coming from:
> Australia: You can move your pet here freely.
> Hawaii: Your pet can come with certain tests carried out.
> United Kingdom: Your pet can come with certain tests carried out.
If you're going to bring a pet from anywhere else, you're certainly showing you love it. Quarantine is for at least thirty days and will cost you around $1,000 for each thirty day period.
Bringing your pet here can be quite complicated and it's best to start making arrangements a few months before you plan coming here yourself.
