Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need travel insurance to enter New Zealand?
New Zealand does not require all visitors to hold travel insurance, but some visa categories do, including certain working holiday visas and medical role visas. Even where it is not required, having cover in place is strongly recommended, so unexpected medical or repatriation costs are covered rather than being your responsibility to pay. Requirements vary by visa type and country of origin, so it is worth checking with Immigration New Zealand for the most up-to-date information.
Can I get covered if I am over 75 years old?
Yes. Travel Insurance Brokers has insurance partners who can extend cover for inbound travellers up to age 99, depending on the policy and assessment.
Can I get cover for my pre-existing medical conditions?
Often, yes. Some pre-existing conditions are automatically covered under inbound policies. Other conditions can be considered following a medical assessment by the insurer, and Travel Insurance Brokers can talk you through what that process involves before you travel.
How long can the policy run for?
Inbound travel insurance can be tailored to the length of your stay in New Zealand (up to a maximum of 12 months), from short visits through to longer working holiday or student trips. We will match the policy duration to your visa and your travel plans.
Does the policy cover me on the way to and from New Zealand?
Yes. Inbound policies from the insurers Travel Insurance Brokers works with can include cover while you are travelling from your home country to New Zealand and back again, so you're covered during transit as well.
What about working holiday visas from countries like Canada, the UK or Germany?
Travel Insurance Brokers works with travellers arriving on working holiday visas from a wide range of countries, taking your visa requirements and trip plans into account to help you find a policy that fits both.
Do you charge any service fees?
No. Travel Insurance Brokers does not charge any service fees. Remuneration is received directly from the insurers. You can find full details in the Disclosure Statement.
