Health and insurance are key parts of this visa. Parents must meet New Zealand’s health standards and also hold comprehensive medical insurance that covers emergencies, cancer treatment, and repatriation. The policy needs to remain valid for the entire stay. Parents will also need to complete a medical check at the time of application and undergo a second check in their third year while outside New Zealand. These requirements make sure that parents are properly cared for while they’re here, while also helping to protect New Zealand’s healthcare system for everyone.
