Immigration New Zealand currently reports that 50% of Medical Treatment Visitor Visa applications are processed within 8 working days, and 80% within 24 working days. These are working days, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and New Zealand public holidays.

The figures are a guide based on current processing timeframes, not a deadline or promise for an individual application. Missing information, application complexity and peak demand can make a case take longer.

INZ does not provide a source update date for this tool. We therefore date a value when GovWait first observes it and add a new history row only when the official value changes.
