You need to provide additional documents

You need to send us additional documents so we can make a decision on your Working Holiday Scheme application. You must submit all the documents listed below within 15 calendar days of this email. Your application may be declined if the required documentation is not received within this period.

Please do not send us your passport. If your application is approved, you can view and print your visa details online. 

You need to provide evidence of:

  • Your good health
  • Your identity
  • Your qualification
  • Your English ability
  • Sufficient funds.

The following sections describe what documents you need to send us as evidence and where to send them. Please include a Letter of Authorisation allowing Immigration New Zealand to verify all documents submitted in support of your application.

Where to send documents

Results of medical tests will be sent to us by your physician. Details on where they should send this are in the Medical Information section below.

All other information can be scanned and emailed to workingholiday@mbie.govt.nz or you can take the documents to a Visa Application Centre (VAC). You can find the address of your closest VAC on our website. You may need to pay a fee to the VAC for this service.

VAC Offices
You need to provide medical information
To ensure you are in good health we need medical information from you.

As proof of your good health you need to provide us with:

  • a chest x-ray certificate.

You do not need to provide a general medical certificate with your chest x-ray certificate.

This is to demonstrate you have an acceptable standard of health. You can find more information about this on our website.

Acceptable standard of health
What if you have already sent Immigration New Zealand a medical certificate?

If you sent us a medical certificate with an earlier visa application, you don’t need to have another medical examination unless one of the following applies:

  • it’s been more than 3 years since you had the last examination
  • you were not assessed as having an acceptable standard of health at the time
  • we need a different kind of medical certificate than the one you provided.
How to get a medical assessment
Please read the sections below to find out how to get a medical assessment and where to send the results.
Book a medical assessment with one of our panel physicians

Physicians are doctors and radiologists approved by Immigration New Zealand to complete medical and chest x-ray certificates for New Zealand visa applications. Find a physician near to you using the tool and map on our website.

You may need a referral from a doctor for a chest x-ray.

When you go for your medical examination you will need to take an acceptable identity document with you. If at all possible, your identity document should be a valid, original passport. If this is not possible, other acceptable documents are listed on our website.

Acceptable Identity Documents
Send Immigration New Zealand your medical information

As you live in a region where our eMedical service is available, your physician will send your medical results directly to Immigration New Zealand. Please do not email your eMedical reference number unless requested by your case officer.

You need to provide evidence of your identity
We need to see the biographical data page of your passport to confirm your identity.

Please send us a copy of the biographical page of your passport that shows your photograph, full name and date of birth.

You need to provide evidence of your qualification
We need to see evidence of tertiary study.

We need to see evidence that shows you have completed a minimum of three years full-time university study. Please send us a copy of a tertiary qualification that meets these requirements.

You need to provide evidence of your English ability
We need to know that you can understand and communicate in English at a level that will help you to work and live in New Zealand.

To show that you have an acceptable level of English you need to send us either:

  • evidence that your tertiary qualification was gained from an institution where all tuition was in English; or
  • the results from an acceptable English language test that is no more than two years old.

You can find acceptable English language test results on our website under ‘English language’.

English language ability
You need to provide evidence of sufficient funds
You need to show us you have enough funds to support yourself while you are living in New Zealand.

You need a minimum of NZ $4,200 to cover your stay in New Zealand. These funds must be available in your name. You can send us a bank statement or copy of your savings book as evidence that you have sufficient funds.

Medical insurance cover for New Zealand

If your application is approved, you will need to purchase medical and comprehensive hospitalisation insurance that will remain current throughout your stay in New Zealand.

Notes about additional documents
Translations

All supporting documents need to be written in English. If documents are written in another language they must be translated into English by a recognised and independent translation service.

What you need to do if you cannot provide the information within this time

If you cannot provide the information within 15 calendar days please let us know as soon as possible. You can email your case officer (if you know who they are) or email workingholiday@mbie.govt.nz

If you can show us that you have tried to provide this information, we will take this into account in considering whether to grant an extension of time. For example, you can show us confirmation of an appointment with a doctor or radiologist, or a receipt for an appointment you attended but have not yet received results from.

What will happen if you do not send the information requested

If we do not receive the additional information within this time (unless we have granted you an extension) we will make a decision on your application based on the information you have already given us. We are unlikely to approve the application based on this information.

What will happen if you send false, misleading, or incomplete information

Providing false or misleading information, or withholding information, may make you ineligible for a visa.

How to get help

If you need help understanding this letter or providing this information, you can email the officer assessing your application.  If you don’t know who the officer is, you can email workingholiday@mbie.govt.nz
