When to schedule
Standard business hours (9 AM–5 PM, Mon–Fri) in Argentina Time and New Zealand Time don't overlap on the same weekday. New Zealand Time is 15 hours ahead of Argentina Time.
With some flexibility, there’s a workable window outside standard hours:
- 4 PM–8 PM in Argentina Time (7 AM–11 AM the next day in New Zealand Time) — suggest 6:00 PM Argentina Time (9:00 AM New Zealand Time).
This means an early start or late finish for one side, but it’s a reasonable slot for a one-off meeting.
This window may shift by an hour during daylight saving time.
Public holidays in 2026
National public holidays can affect availability — a counterpart is likely off work on their own holidays, so it's worth planning meetings and deadlines around them.
