Medical insurance for Working Holiday Visa

The agreement we have with your government will decide whether you are required to hold medical and comprehensive hospitalisation insurance.

All applicants, except those who are applying under the Working Holiday Schemes with Ireland, Japan, Malaysia or the United Kingdom, are required to hold medical and comprehensive hospitalisation insurance that must remain in force throughout the applicant’s stay in New Zealand. 

Note

You may be required to produce evidence that you hold health insurance before or on your arrival in New Zealand.
