The whole country runs on this single zone, despite spanning about five geographic hours. In the far west that means sunrise can be near 10am by the clock.

There is no daylight saving, so the offset is the same all year and your calculation does not change mid-trip.

Business hours are typically 9am to 6pm with a real lunch break, and many offices genuinely stop for it.

Planning Calls and Arrivals

The table above is live, so it is the quickest way to check before you dial. Two things it will not tell you. A red-eye arrival is a scheduling decision as much as a flight choice: landing at 6am against a 3pm check-in makes a long first day, and paying for the previous night is usually the better trade. And jet lag is not symmetrical, so booking an arrival in the late afternoon local time gives you the shortest path to a normal night's sleep.
