From the end of July, international students studying in New Zealand do not need to provide a comprehensive medical report.

Nathan Guy, Minister of Immigration of New Zealand, recently announced that starting from the end of July 20 12, on the basis of effectively ensuring the public health system, international students studying in New Zealand will no longer need to provide comprehensive physical examination reports (except for other major diseases), and only need to provide tuberculosis examination when applying for visas.

For the simplification of the medical examination report, experts said that this fully shows the positive attitude of the New Zealand government to solve the problem that the visa application process is too cumbersome. In the future, the Immigration Bureau will focus on the overall quality of students studying in New Zealand, and will pay more attention to attracting international students who can contribute to New Zealand society. This will reduce the cost of about 62,800 students by about NZ $6,543,800+0,700.

In addition, according to experts studying abroad, the Immigration Bureau has also revised the physical examination requirements for applying for other types of visas. Including: if you have provided a medical report before, it has not been more than 36 months and there is no major illness. When the applicant applies for a visa again, there is no need to provide a medical report again; International students must purchase medical insurance recognized by the Immigration Bureau as a prerequisite for their visa application; Applicants who have lived in high-incidence areas for more than 6 months continuously need to provide tuberculosis examination reports again when applying for New Zealand visas; Spouses and children of New Zealand citizens and residents only need a comprehensive medical examination if their physical condition may make them ineligible for immigration. The applicant's health status is still an important basis for the Immigration Bureau to issue visas, and major diseases and high-consumption diseases are still the focus of the Immigration Bureau's investigation.

The Minister of Immigration of New Zealand said that on the basis of ensuring that applicants have certain health standards, the red tape in the immigration process will be seriously reduced, and all medical examination items and requirements will be updated in time with the change of policies to attract more international people to study or immigrate to New Zealand.
