I couldn't find the answer to my question. What should I do?

• Please send us an email or use our contact form. We will do our best to answer any additional questions you may have.

Who will look after me when I get sick?

• Your host family and Evakona staff will look after you.

When will I know the details of my homestay?

• Usually, you will receive information about your host family about a week or 2 after that you have sent the appication form.

I have a drivers license from my home country. Is this valid in NZ (if I want to rent or buy a car)?

• New Zealand accepts drivers licences from many overseas countries. Some are only valid in conjunction with an international license. Check here to find out about more.

Do I need health or travel insurance?

• Yes. Please go to our Fees page to find out more about travel, health and accident insurance.

What is the power supply in New Zealand?

• In New Zealand the voltage is 240V. You can use any electrical goods with stickers saying 100-240v here. You will need TYPE "O" plug for them though. For overseas appliances with less than 240v power, you will need an adaptor (you can buy it here).

Can somebody help me in my own language if I have a problem?

• Yes. We have staff and counsellors that speak about 5 different languages. For other languages we have phone counsellors available.

Can I send some of my luggage to New Zealand before I arrive?

• Yes. You can send it by mail or courier to the school address (see bottom of this page).

• New Zealanders enjoy outdoor activities. The following are very popular: golf, rugby, netball, soccer, tennis, sailing, surfing, scuba diving, horse riding, hiking, bowls... If you are interested, you can join one of the local clubs; the fees are relatively low.

• This depends on the system in your home country. Please ask your phone company. Most students bring their phone and use a New Zealand sim-card on a New Zealand network. There are three mobile phone companies in New Zealand: Telecom, Vodafone and 2-Degrees.
