Urgent advice needed regarding medical checks for visa-please help
Hi there,
I require a general medical certificate and a chest x-ray certificate in order to submit my visa application (work to residence visa via accredited employer). It is very urgent I submit my application soon as my employer in NZ cannot wait much longer.
I am having real trouble organising my general medical certificate and chest x ray though through my hospital and doctors. They say they require specific detailed info from NZ immigration detailing exactly what is required such as the exact types of blood needed. I have looked on immigration website but can find little info. They cannot deal with my case without this info. I am wondering if anyone knows where I can obtain this from, or can tell me the exact specifics of a general medical? I have also spoken to the diagnostic imaging department at my local hospital.They say they also require all this documentation to specify exactly what is needed, and say I must also bring passport photos.
I hope someone can help. Many thanks. Really appreciated.

Just messaged you back
As above it has to be an approved panel Dr, I used the bridge clinic, very good and INZ had the certificates the next day

You must use one of panel doctors listed by New Zealand immigration. Shuvit has given you the list. There is a set form and check list . You will need to take spectacles , meds, ID .

As you said it was urgent, I thought it would also be worth noting that once you've been examined at one of the INZ-approved physicians, they should give you your eMedical number which you can send off on your visa application immediately before even having received your results.
So if you manage to get your examination asap this week, you'll be able to send off your application straight after - if everything else is in place.

As others have stated you have to use an approved panel of clincs not your local hospital. I went to Knightsbridge and they were very experienced with INZ medicals. Best of luck!
