Any previous chest x-rays.
Existing specialist and/or other relevant medical reports for known medical conditions

Validity

The results of your health assessment are usually valid for 12 months. If we ask you to sign a health undertaking, they are valid for 6 months.

Medical Tests (NZ)

Persons entering New Zealand to work and live for 12 months or longer are required to show that they are in good health and are of good character. If you are coming to New Zealand for longer than 24 months, you and your spouse (if applicable) will need to provide Medicals (including X-rays) and Police reports. All children, including babies, must have a medical examination. Children aged 10 and under don’t need to have a chest x-ray, unless the physician thinks it’s necessary or INZ ask for one.

In terms of the medical requirements, we will send a separate email with instructions and a list of panel doctors for your location so that you may make appointments. You will need to read the introduction and take the relevant documents requested with you (ie your passports and photographs) to your appointments. Please note that medicals are only valid for 3 months from date of issue so you cannot get them too early otherwise they will have expired by the time we lodge the applications with Immigration New Zealand.

Note: If you sent INZ a chest x-ray certificate with an earlier visa application, you don’t need to have another x-ray unless it’s been more than 3 years since you had the last one.
