Employer Accreditation​ and Renewal

All employers who support migrant workers for visas must be accredited with Immigration New Zealand. Employers must also be accredited if employing the partners of skilled workers.

 

When seeking a work visa for staff, there are now three steps required;

  1. Obtain employer accreditation as a viable and compliant employer
  2. Obtain Job Tokens to fill vacancies by having any roles assessed as genuine and valid. In some cases, this requires listing the role and showing local candidates cannot fill it.
  3. International candidate uses a Job Token to seek a work visa to take up the offer of work.

How can UVISA Immigration help with the new Employer Accreditation process?

Job Check

Once accredited, employers need to complete a Job Check to show local candidates cannot fill the role. We can help you navigate the red tape to convince the officials that you know best what your business needs are.

Work Visa

Accredited Employers with a valid Job Check can offer work to migrant workers, who will then need to apply for the new AEWV (Accredited Employer Work Visa). UVISA can help with ensuring your candidate’s work visa application is granted without delay and support family member’s visa applications too.
