WA2.5 Applying for employer accreditation
- An employer accreditation application must be made using the approved online form provided on the INZ website.
- To make an application, the employer must have a New Zealand Business Number (NZBN), unless they are a foreign diplomatic or consular mission (such as an Embassy, High Commission or Consulate).
- The application must be accompanied by appropriate evidence that demonstrates the employer meets the requirements set out in the employer accreditation instructions, where requested by the approved online form.
- The relevant fee must be paid for an employer accreditation application.
- If an employer wishes to upgrade from Standard Accreditation to High Volume Accreditation, where the Standard Accreditation period has not expired, an application to upgrade must be submitted and the relevant fee must be paid.
Note: A Job Check or Accredited Employer work visa application will not be approved if the employment specified is:
- self-employment; or - to plant, maintain, harvest or pack crops in the horticulture or viticulture industries (in this case the employer must apply to become a Recognised Seasonal Employer - WH1).
