Immigration medicals for New Zealand visa applications
Depending on your visa, intended stay, and personal circumstances, Immigration New Zealand may ask you to complete a medical examination, a chest X-ray, or both.
We provide immigration medicals for people applying for or renewing a range of New Zealand visas, including:
- Accredited Employer Work Visas and other work visas

Immigration medical requirements differ between applicants. Please check the instructions provided by Immigration New Zealand before booking so you know which examination or tests you require.
Our team can help you book the appropriate appointment based on the information INZ has given you, but we cannot provide immigration or visa advice.
What is included in an immigration medical?
Medical examination
One of our approved panel doctors will complete the physical examination required by Immigration New Zealand.
Your appointment may include:
- A review of your medical history
- Height, weight and blood pressure checks
- Vision and hearing checks
- A general physical examination
- A review of any existing health conditions or medications
Blood tests and chest X-ray referrals
We can complete the required blood tests at Devonport Health Centre.
If you need a chest X-ray, we will refer you to an approved radiology provider. The results will be returned to our clinical team for review.
Fast eMedical submission
Once your examination and any required results are complete, we will submit your medical information securely through the eMedical system.
Immigration New Zealand will then assess the information as part of your visa application.
What immigration medical do you need?
The examination you need depends on factors including:
- The visa you are applying for
- How long you intend to stay in New Zealand
- Your age
- Your country and travel history
- Your health history
- Medical information previously provided to INZ
You may require a general medical examination, a limited medical examination, a chest X-ray or a combination of these services.
For some visas, including Accredited Employer Work Visas, student visas and visitor visas, INZ may contact you after you apply if a medical examination or chest X-ray is required.
