New zealand questions
Posted: Tue Jul 11, 2017 6:18 pm
Hi all,
I am thinking of going for a prolonged visit to NZ as I am about to become a granddad. I wondered if people could answer some questions and give me some personal experience. I have a transplant and am pretty stable at the moment.
1. How long would I be allowed to stay (visa)
2. Can I get meds for more than 3 months and take them into the country.
3. What happens if I relapse during my stay, what if anything would I be covered for and what insurance would I need.
4. What kind of fees would i be charged as a private none NZer
5. If I run out of med, MMF, Pred, Tac, BP what would be the costs of purchase and how can I get a precription in NZ (GP fees) or would a GB precription work.
6. I read on this forum that some parts of NZ I could get free dialysis (if I relapsed) id that true and which parts?
I realise that I should direct some of these questions to my Dr and the embassy but I would like to hear from those who have experienced it.
Thanks in advance.
Otto
