    Employer leads visa application process

    The new 3-check visa application process is led by the employer before the migrant applies. The introduction of the new Accredited Employer Work Visa is postponed until mid-2022.

    New application process

    The new Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV) application process will be employer led. Before hiring a migrant on the AEWV employers will need to:

    • apply for accreditation under the new system
    • apply for a job check to make sure the role they want to fill cannot be done by New Zealanders, and
    • request a migrant worker to apply for a visa.

    The migrant will need to meet the skills and experience stipulated as part of the job check.

    Single visa replaces 6

    The AEWV replaces these 6 work visas:

    • Essential Skills Work Visa
    • Essential Skills Work Visa — approved in principle
    • Talent (Accredited Employer) Work Visa
    • Long Term Skill Shortage List Work Visa
    • Silver Fern Job Search Visa (closed 7 October 2019)
    • Silver Fern Practical Experience Visa.

    New system has 3 checks

    The system will introduce 3 checks before an employer can hire a migrant worker. These checks are:

    • the employer check — employers need accreditation to pass this
    • the job check
    • the migrant worker check.
