A4.80 Temporary entry applicants warranting a waiver (26/07/1999)

1. If an application from a seconded business person for a work visa or work permit is subject to a medical check, a medical waiver may be granted if it is shown that:
   1. the intended secondment will be of benefit to New Zealand, and
   2. the medical condition would not create a burden on New Zealand health services during the secondment, and
   3. the employer has guaranteed to pay all medical expenses.
2. At the time the work visa is issued or the work permit granted, the principal applicant must be advised in writing that the visa has been issued or the permit granted even though the application has not met the acceptable standards of health.
