Accredited Employer Work Visa

Once your employer has been accredited for the Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV) and has an approved job check the employer can ask you to apply for an AEWV.

Before issuing a AEWV INZ will check:

◉ You are applying for a job check approved job

◉ You have the required skills and experience for the job

◉ You are of good health and character

◉ You have a valid employment agreement.

An AEWV may be granted for the period for which the employment is offered, up to a maximum of 3 years.

From December 2022, most partners of temporary migrant workers will need to qualify for their own AEWV.

You must be given work-related settlement information within one month of starting your employment.
