Most visiting overseas elective medical students come into New Zealand on a Visitor visa.

Some visiting medical students may need to obtain a Work Permit under the Students and Trainees Policy for entry to New Zealand. In order to obtain this permit you are required to provide supporting documentation. Regulations may vary and you should obtain full instructions, appropriate forms and the latest information from your nearest New Zealand Diplomatic Post.

It is essential that you start to complete these procedures at least three months before your arrival in New Zealand.
