HI every one,

I planned to work in NZ but I am hesitant to go forward on my application because of my medical history..
5 years ago I undergone renal transplant due to hypertension, since then untill now I have a healthy
living , working in electronic company.
Can i passed the medical exam with my history?
Please share your experience like my case.

Thank you.

Not a medical doctor or an expert. But from what i understand of immigration rules, you will surely have a harder time but given the right doctor's recommendation, and as long as your illness will not mean additional burden to the nz health system (i.e. will not need continuous medical attention or need medicines) and is not communicable, you might get through AS LONG AS you prove what I have mentioned above.
