Dhaka follows Bangladesh Standard Time (UTC+6) and does not observe daylight saving. Christchurch follows New Zealand Standard Time (UTC+12) from roughly late April to late September, and New Zealand Daylight Time (UTC+13) from late September to late April. Christchurch is therefore 6 or 7 hours ahead of Dhaka, depending on the time of year.

Visa requirements depend on your nationality and travel purpose. We recommend checking with the relevant New Zealand authorities or your local consulate, and reviewing the latest information well before your departure date from Dhaka.

For flights from Dhaka to Christchurch via Singapore, we recommend arriving at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport at least three hours before your scheduled departure. This allows time for check-in, security, and immigration before you proceed to the gate.

Follow the transfer signs at Singapore Changi Airport, check the screens for your onward gate, and allow time to enjoy airport facilities between flights.

Christchurch Airport offers several transport options into the city, including public transport and dedicated transfer services. Travel times to the central city are generally short. We recommend checking current options and timings with the airport or local transport providers before you arrive.
