To be able to enter New Zealand as a visitor, we need to be assured that you and any family members with you have an acceptable standard of health.
A guide to the health requirements you must meet to be granted a visa to travel to New Zealand is available at the Immigration New Zealand website.
You may be required to provide a medical certificate. This depends on the length of time you intend to stay in New Zealand.
If you intend to stay:
- less than six months, no medical certificate is required
- more than 12 months, you must complete a Medical and Chest X-Ray certificate
- more than six months, but less than 12 months, you may need to provide a Temporary Entry X-Ray certificate.
