Hi everyone,
In the operations manual, A4.10, it states that applicants must have an acceptable standard of health. It goes on to say:
(d) If an immigration officer is not satisfied that an applicant for a residence class visa has an acceptable standard of health, they must refer the matter for assessment to an Immigration New Zealand medical assessor (or the Ministry of Education as appropriate).
(e) Despite (d) above, referral to an Immigration New Zealand medical assessor (or the Ministry of Education) is not required where the applicant is the partner or dependent child of a New Zealand citizen or residence class visa holder, unless the provisions of A4.60(a) or A4.60(b) apply.
Does this mean that, if I include my wife on my residence visa application, her health won't be an issue even if it would normally require referral?
Cheers,
Gene
