New Zealand laws
New Zealand law laws operate to protect the rights of all people in New Zealand, including visitors and international students.
Many of the laws in New Zealand will be different to those of your home country.
It is important that you are aware of New Zealand’s laws and abide by them, as ignorance of the law is not an acceptable excuse in New Zealand.
