Many New Zealand Employers don’t yet know how to hire foreign migrants, so don’t be surprised. The employer-led system is only starting now.

If you want to help a NZ Employer hire you today, here is what you can do…

  1. Ask the employer if they are aware of the new Employer Accredited Work Visa (AEWV) coming into effect July 4.
  2. If the employer is interested to find out more, it’s all right here: https://www.immigration.govt.nz/employ-migrants/new-employer-accreditation-and-work-visa/accreditation-types-and-employers-requirements

The benefits of the employer-led process are simple to explain:

In the past, employers only issued the job offer and then they often would wait for an immigration agent to confirm or request a change to the job offer in order to achieve compliance.

Today, the process is streamlined. The term “employer led” system means exactly that. Employers control the job offer and the work visa at the same time.
