Medical check up

[wolfgang4495]

Hi everybody ,

I've got a general question.

What is on it , that there will be an new Medical check from November 2005 ?

What's on it , that visitors they want to stay one year and more must have the new medical check?

I want to go to NZ in April 2006 on Visiter Visa , look for a job ( offer) and apply for a work permit .
Is there a possibility to get the medical check up done in NZ ?

Can I have done the medical check up e.g. in Thailand?
Does anybody know about this costs in NZ ?


Would be great to hear from you

Hi,

Yes, it's possible to have a medical done in NZ, although I do not know what the costs of the new medicals will be. Currently it varies between doctors at around $100 - $150 for medical and about $100 for your x-rays.

It's possible to get them done in Thailand, but you can only use doctors that have been approved by NZIS.

As yet, I also do not know what will be contained in the new medical examinations, so we'll have to keep a look out for anything on it!

I thought the medicals only lasted for 3 months and the police certificates for 6 months. Has it changed recently?

sorry I was wrong.

had a bad day at work.

Hi Taffy,

do you have any idea where I can take my medical Check up?
Is there any list of doctors to find ?

I'd like to stay after arriving in Christchurch or Nelson.

If you are having your medicals done in New Zealand, you can go to any doctor you like!

Thanks for the answer , Taffy.
