As a foreigner living in Wellington, will I have access to public healthcare? What is it like?
We asked expats in Wellington if they have access to public healthcare in Wellington. And, if they do have access, what is it like. They wrote...
"As a foreigner living in Wellington, your access to public healthcare will depend on your visa status and the duration of your stay. If you hold a work visa valid for at least two years or a resident visa, you may be eligible for publicly funded healthcare services. New Zealand's public healthcare system provides a high standard of care, with a focus on primary healthcare services, such as general practitioners, and public hospitals. However, waiting times for non-urgent treatments can be long, and some services may require co-payments. It is recommended to have private health insurance to cover any additional costs and to access a wider range of services," said a member in Wellington, New Zealand.
