Appendix 1 - List of countries using panel physicians
In most countries, including New Zealand, Immigration New Zealand (INZ) selects and uses a panel of reputable registered physicians and radiologists. Below is a list of countries where Medical and Chest X-ray Certificates must be completed by approved INZ panel physicians and radiologists.
For a detailed list of the panel physicians and radiologists in your country please refer to the approved list at www.immigration.govt.nz/paneldoctors.
Where a Chest X-ray Certificate or a Medical Certificate is necessary, a completed certificate is required for each member of your family included in the application.
Your Chest X-ray Certificate or Medical Certificate must have been issued less than three months before the date that your application for a visa is made, except where otherwise specified. Details about the requirements for Chest X-ray Certificates and Medical Certificates can be found in the INZ Operational Manual under chapter A4 Health Requirements.
