About the Accredited Employer Work Visa
The Accredited Employer Work Visa has replaced several previous work visa pathways in New Zealand. It’s designed for skilled migrants, but it’s employer-led, meaning you must be accredited and complete a job check before your migrant worker can apply for an AEWV. Only once these steps are approved can the Accredited Employer Work Visa application be submitted.
