doctor, complete all medical forms, book an appointment and get them done. You can either do this

for your client if you like them or let them do it. Please ensure that they clearly say that they are

applying for a New Zealand Student Visa Medical as if they choose the wrong option there is a

possibility of their visa being refused.

results directly to the embassy as well as to the client. There is no need to submit an original of the

medical as it is emailed directly from the panel doctor to the embassy. The client will need to make

sure that they receive a NZR number which they will need to insert on the medical section of their

visa application.

Please note though: Original bank stamped statements are required in order to prove that the funds are readily available. If held in an international account where access to statements are limited the funds should either be transferred locally where statements can be gathered or the bank will need to send an official letter confirming said funds held under the sponsors name and that it is available should they need to withdraw it. Special note : Maintenenace fundsThe sponsor does not have to include their bank statements and instead can replace the bank statements by completing section D on the Financial Undertaking form and then the sponsor’s bank will then have to complete and stamp section E on the Financial Undertaking form. All signatures and stamp will need to be original.
