Immigration rules can feel confusing. Here are the most common questions we get about this visa type.
Accreditation is what lets you hire migrant workers on the Accredited Employer Work Visa. Without it, you can't support an AEWV application, so it's the first step to bringing in the overseas talent your business needs.
Standard accreditation suits businesses hiring a small number of migrants, while high-volume is for hiring six or more on the AEWV. Your partner adviser assesses your hiring plans and recommends the type that fits, so you don't pay for more than you need.
Your first accreditation lasts 12 months, then renews for up to 24 months. Your partner adviser sets you up to meet the ongoing obligations from the start so renewal is straightforward rather than a scramble.
The common causes are non-compliant employment agreements and gaps in your employment practices. Your partner adviser audits your documents and processes against Immigration NZ's standards and fixes issues quietly before you apply.
