Employer Work Visa
The Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV) allows skilled migrants to work in New Zealand for an approved employer who is accredited by Immigration New Zealand. To qualify, applicants must have a genuine job offer, meet skill or experience requirements, and receive pay at or above the median wage unless exempt. This visa is designed to fill skill shortages across sectors such as healthcare, construction, engineering, hospitality, and IT. The AEWV provides the ability to live and work in New Zealand for up to 3 years, with options for renewal or transition into residence categories depending on occupation level and employer pathway. It offers a structured and transparent migration route for professionals aiming for stable employment and long-term opportunities.
