Non-residents of
New Zealand may be required to pay for their
health care. If you were not born in New
Zealand and have not previously shown evidence
of residency you should bring your passport with
you, on your first visit to the hospital for
verification.
Information on access to publicly funded health care in New
Zealand is available on the Ministry of Health's Guide to
Eligibility website (http://www.moh.govt.nz/eligibility).
