Accredited Employer Work Visa resources
Use these resources for organisations and community groups to help communicate with employers and migrants about the Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV).
The AEWV is a 3-step process. Employers must apply for accreditation to hire migrant workers on an AEWV. They must apply for a Job Check to show they cannot find suitable New Zealanders for the role, and that the migrant they have chosen is suitably qualified. Once the Job Check is approved an accredited employer can ask a migrant to apply for an AEWV.
We have prepared resources about the AEWV process to share with employers, organisations, unions or associations, migrant workers and their communities.
