Comprehensive health and travel insurance that meets NZ Immigration requirements

By my experience (Chilean who applied for a WH visa to NZ) I purchased insurance for one year in Chile. I asked to the company for a certificate to show in the customs, but when I arrived to NZ, nobody asked me for it (neither the minimal money, BTW). As far as I know, this is completely random, because in NZ I asked some people, and none of them told me in that moment (2011) that someone asked for papers validating that they had money or insurance, but a few of them told me that they knew someone who had been asked for those papers.

My recommendation, just to be sure: contract your insurance in Chile. It’s cheaper than in NZ, and for the whole time you’re going to stay, it’s better to be safe than sorry. Besides, you could have a bad moment in customs, or in the worst case, they could send you back to Chile.
