Why people convert Dhaka to New Zealand time
- Scheduling a call from Dhaka to New Zealand: a 10:00 AM start in Dhaka lands at 5:00 PM in New Zealand, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
- Finding shared working hours: both Dhaka and New Zealand are inside the 9-to-5 working day between 9:00 AM and 10:00 AM BDST time (4:00 PM–5:00 PM NZDT). That is roughly 1 hours of usable overlap.
- Coordinating a Dhaka-based team with New Zealand contacts: quoting times in the other side's local clock — not your own — removes the single biggest source of missed meetings.
- Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM BDST" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a +7h gap is not.
- Block 9:00 AM–10:00 AM BDST as the recurring meeting window if you work primarily from Dhaka and need New Zealand colleagues present.
- New Zealand: Clocks fall back on Sat, Apr 3, 2027. Any meeting series spanning that date will shift by an hour in local time.
About BDST (Bangladesh Standard Time)
Bangladesh Standard Time (BDST) is the single time zone used across Bangladesh, fixed at UTC+06:00 all year. Bangladesh has not observed daylight saving time since a short-lived experiment in 2009, so the gap between Bangladesh and every other zone is constant. Dhaka, the capital, is one of the most densely populated cities in the world. Because the country sits close to the middle of the UTC+06:00 band, solar noon is near 12:00 for most of the year. BDST is listed separately from British Summer Time, which shares the BST abbreviation but is UTC+01:00.
About NZST (New Zealand Standard Time)
New Zealand Standard Time (NZST) is the standard time zone for New Zealand and its dependencies. New Zealand is among the first countries to see a new calendar day. During summer (September to April), clocks advance to New Zealand Daylight Time (NZDT, UTC+13:00).
Best time to call between Dhaka and New Zealand
Both Dhaka and New Zealand sit inside the 9 AM – 5 PM working day between 9:00 AM–10:00 AM BDST, which is 4:00 PM–5:00 PM NZDT. That gives roughly 1 hours of shared time — the safest window for a live call or meeting.
Business hours overlap
Dhaka and New Zealand overlap for only 60 minutes (9:00 AM–10:00 AM BDST), so meetings have to be booked precisely.
Dhaka is 7 hours ahead of New Zealand (BDST UTC+06:00 → NZDT UTC+13:00). The shared working window is 9:00 AM–10:00 AM BDST. Remember to re-check around daylight-saving transitions.
