Hi everyone,
I'm travelling to NZ soon on a 5 year work visa and have submitted a residency application. My wife and kids are travelling with me and they've got a 5 year visitor visa (sponsored by my work visa). So my question is - before we get our residency, is my wife eligible for publicly funded healthcare?
From what I've read, my kids are below 17 years old and hence they are eligible. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Asking this cos if there's no cover, we may want to buy some sort of healthcare insurance to make sure that we are adequately covered.
Thanks!
