Try www.nzart.org.nz first that web site covers all the details for the Amateur radio enthusiast in that part of the world.
Having said that, strike the iron while it's hot & upgrade, that way there's no need to worry.
Keep up the enthusiasm & go for gold!!!

There is an overseas licence "transfer" system ... see the bottom of section 2 in:

Best to contact NZART HQ via e-mail (nzart@nzart.org.nz) and Debby will set you right.

If you do need to sit the "Ham Radio exam" here, it is not hard. Contact an active Branch of NZART http://www.nzart.org.nz/branches/branch-data/ and an examination supervisor will set an exam for you at a mutually convenient time according to the following procedure http://www.nzart.org.nz/exam/exam-procedure/. The exam is 60 "multi-guess" questions drawn via a software application from a question bank of 600 questions. The whole thing is available on-line http://www.nzart.org.nz/exam/download-e ... ion-files/

Recently I used the exam generator software to print out an exam for the local examination supervisor (his printer was out of action) and as a matter of curiosity sat the test myself. Two(?) hours is normally allowed, but I took 20 minutes and got 58 questions correct ... the two questions wrong were from not reading the question properly due to rushing through. One only needs to score 40/60 to pass and the number of applicants who fail are VERY few.

Good luck if you do cross the ditch.
