I've heard that some countries which have better relations w/ Taiwan will allow conversion via an informal arrangement. It's probably best you specifically confirm w/ NZCAA though to see if they have such an process.
We did have a Kiwi Taiwanese at our flight school who made it to CAL. Good luck!
And what school is that if I may ask? Can you please elaborate on his/her background, hours, and what year was it? It's been a grind to find people in similar situations. Thanks heaps!
