Accredited Employer Work Visa: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Learn about the requirements and benefits of the Accredited Employer Work Visa for skilled migrants looking to work in New Zealand.

The Accredited Employer Work Visa is a way for skilled migrants to secure a job with a company that has been officially approved to hire overseas workers.

Who it's for

This visa is designed for skilled migrants who have secured a job offer from a company that holds special accreditation.

What you get

Once approved, this visa gives you the legal right to work specifically for your accredited employer.

What it costs you

There are application fees associated with this process, but the exact amount depends on the specific type of visa you are applying for.

The catch to know

Your right to work is tied to your employer's status. You should be aware that an employer's accreditation status can change, which may affect your ability to hold this visa.

How to apply

  1. Find a job with an employer who is already accredited.
  2. Ensure your skills meet the requirements for the role.
  3. Complete the application process through the official government website.
