We got one when we lived there. Dead easy. Just an eye test. You have to visit a centre to do it. They take your photo for you.

Here are the exact details. As long as you have a valid UK licence it's a simple exchange for a New Zealand one and you still keep you UK one also.

New Zealand licences allow you to drive a Motorhome upto 6000kg.

Assuming you have had a look at all the requirements for importing a motorhome into NZ ?

Now then....importing the Motorhome. Now that's a bigger challenge. Depends on the age. We looked into it then abandoned the process as it was just a nightmare. Our van was too old and didn't have EU type approval.

There are lots of blogs about people who have done it

We also looked at importing our motor home to New Zealand but decided it was not worth it in the end .
