Q: What is the process regarding Medicals?

A: If you need a medical examination or chest X-ray for your immigration application, you need to select a doctor and/or radiologist from an NZIS approved list.

Your form will be completed by the panel doctor/radiologist and given back to you. You will be required to submit the completed medical forms to Immigration New Zealand, together with your immigration application.

Each member of your family is required to have a medical form completed. Family members 11 years and over are also required to have a chest X-ray.Your medical examination must not be more than 3 months old at the time of lodgement of the application.

You need to bring TWO passport sized photographs and your passport to your appointment to ensure your medical and X-ray report can be completed.

Not all countries have appointed panel doctors. For countries where there are no panel doctors, a registered or board certified or licensed medical practitioner or physician may conduct the medical examination.
