Most employers who want to support an Accredited Employer Work Visa must first be accredited with Immigration New Zealand. Accreditation shows you are a genuine, compliant employer with a track record of meeting immigration and employment standards.
The process examines payroll, holiday pay, health and safety and whether your business is stable. MBIE labour inspectors and WorkSafe history can matter. Accreditation tiers affect how many migrants you can support and how quickly roles can be filled.
Job checks, median wage thresholds and sector agreements change regularly. A role that qualified last year may not today. Pair immigration planning with IRD employer registration and ACC cover before you advertise offshore.
