An Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV) allows skilled workers to live and work in New Zealand for an accredited employer. This visa ensures that migrant workers fill roles where there is a genuine skill shortage and supports New Zealand’s labor market needs.
Granting an Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV) involves three main steps
The employer must first be accredited by INZ to hire migrant workers.
For each vacancy, the accredited employer must get a Job Check approved by INZ to show there are no suitable New Zealand citizens or residents for the role.
After completing the above steps, an eligible migrant worker can apply for the Accredited Employer Work Visa
