Business Etiquette

Tailored suits is the preferred business attire.

Appointments are necessary and should be made at least one week in advance.

Punctuality is part of the culture. “Fashionably late” is not an option in this country as most social events start on time.

Calling cards or business cards are exchanged.

Politics, sports, and weather are good conversational topics, and may be hotly debated. In order to be a good conversationalist, stay current and informed on critical topics. One in particular is New Zealand’s “nuclear free” zone.

Business visits are best during the months: February to April and October-November.
