Will you be able to access public services?

‍

New Zealand has a good range of public services to provide support when needed.

As a migrant, you will enjoy some of those benefits but the level of public support will depend on the type of visa you hold.

A resident visa will give you the best cover in many aspects. As a visitor, you will need to ensure that you buy comprehensive travel insurance before coming to New Zealand.
