Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV)

If you are a skilled worker who wants to work in New Zealand, the Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV) is for you. To apply for an AEWV, you will need a full-time (30 hours per week) job offer from an accredited employer and have the necessary pay rate, skills, and/or qualifications applicable for the role. An accredited employer is an employer who has approval from Immigration New Zealand to employ migrant workers. An AEWV enables you to work just for your employer, and in the role and location specified on your visa. AEWVs can be issued for up to 5 years (from November 2023).

The AEWV allows you to live and work in New Zealand, enjoy its beautiful scenery and rich culture, and advance your career. Kwik Kiwi Immigration New Zealand is a trusted agency that specializes in assisting individuals in navigating the AEWV application process, ensuring a smooth and successful transition to their new life in New Zealand.

Separate visa applications for any accompanying family members (Spouse and children) can also be prepared and lodged together with the main AEWV application.

The AEWV application can be undertaken by the job applicant or by Kwik Kiwi Immigration on their, or the employer’s, behalf.
