What you need to know

Most international students in New Zealand aren't eligible for publicly funded healthcare, so a single hospital stay could cost tens of thousands of dollars. That's why:

  • Immigration New Zealand requires student visa holders to maintain acceptable medical and travel insurance for their entire stay.
  • The Education (Pastoral Care of Tertiary and International Learners) Code of Practice 2021 requires your school to make sure you're appropriately insured.
  • Many institutions have a preferred insurance policy. If you choose a different one, you'll usually need to submit it for approval before enrollment.
New Zealand's ACC scheme covers some accident-related treatment for everyone, including visitors, but it does not cover illness, travel, repatriation, or all accident costs. You still need full insurance.

New Zealand FAQs

Before you hit submit.

Not always, but you'll usually need your institution's approval to use a different policy. Every Campus Stride NZ plan comes with a policy summary built for institution approval requests, and our team can help you submit it. Always get written approval before your enrollment deadline so you're not charged for the school's policy.

Refer to the policy wording for full terms, conditions, and exclusions.
