If you need a medical examination or chest X-ray for your immigration application, you need to select a doctor and/or radiologist from our approved list — see below.
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.
Your medical examination must not be more than three months old at the time of application lodgement.
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.
Immigration New Zealand Medical and/or X-ray forms completed in New Zealand using the online submission process will be submitted to Immigration New Zealand by your registered NZimed doctor and/or radiologist.
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.
Please bring TWO passport-sized photographs and your passport to your appointment to ensure your medical and X-ray report can be completed.
The examining doctor/radiologist holds a supply of Immigration New Zealand medical/X-ray forms. The forms can also be downloaded from www.immigration.govt.nz/forms.
