Most employer-based work visas in New Zealand go through the Accredited Employer Work Visa. The employer must be accredited and pass a job check before you apply.
Employer accreditation, job check, then your visa application.
Roles must meet the pay and conditions set for the job check.
You apply using the job check details your employer shares with you.
Immigration advice for New Zealand must come from a licensed adviser or lawyer.
First the employer becomes accredited with Immigration New Zealand. Next the employer applies for a job check for the specific role. Once approved, you apply for the visa linked to that job.
Students in New Zealand on a Post Study Work Visa may use it to gain experience before moving to an employer-based visa.
Immigration New Zealand publishes a list of accredited employers. Confirm the employer appears on it and that you receive a written employment agreement. It is illegal for employers to charge you a premium for a job.
A job offer or offer letter does not extend your visa by itself. You still need a genuine employer, a real role and a successful application through the official government process.
We check your profile against the route, explain what the official rules require, and help you prepare a complete, accurate application. We also introduce suitable candidates to employers registered in the destination country that are recruiting for genuine roles.
The employer interviews you and decides whether to hire you, and the government decides your visa. Where the destination country requires immigration advice to come from a registered or authorised professional, that advice is given by our partner lawyers.
We review your current visa, qualifications, experience and English.
Suitable routes, official requirements, realistic timelines and costs.
Applications and interviews with registered employers, where the route needs one.
Complete documents, submitted through the official process.
