General Information

  • What is the AEWV?

    It’s a temporary work visa that allows skilled migrants to work for accredited employers. 

  • What is an accredited employer?

    They are an organisation or business that has been approved by Immigration New Zealand (INZ) to hire skilled migrant workers under the AEWV scheme. This approval ensures the employer is able to abide by regulatory laws and standards suitable for the employees.

  • What are the benefits of the AEWV?

    This visa is especially beneficial because of its longevity (up to 5 years), can provide a path to residency in NZ and can also be used to support partners/children/family with their own visa applications, all the while allowing the applicant to gain meaningful employment and work experience within NZ.

    Further, there is guaranteed job security in the form of accredited employers being obligated to meet certain wage thresholds and employment standards for their accredited employees.

    Provided false or misleading information to INZ.

Job Check

Once you are accredited, you need to apply for a job check for each job you want to hire a migrant worker for. Note: The employer pays for the job check. 

What a Job Check confirms:

The job pays the market rate and meets wage thresholds applicable under the relevant job check pathway

The job’s terms and conditions comply with New Zealand employment laws and standards.

The job is for a minimum of 30 hours a week.

You have advertised the job to New Zealanders, if you need to, including the minimum and maximum expected pay rate and the skills or experience required.

If you offer the job to a migrant but do not hire them, you can offer the job to another suitable applicant. You do not have to redo the job check unless it has expired.

Multiple positions for the same job can be included in one job check if the job details are the same and are all covered by the same advertising (where required) and proposed employment agreement.

You can only hire a migrant worker on an AEWV for a job if it passed the job check.

Regarding highly paid jobs

If the job is paid at least 200% of the median wage, you do not need to advertise the role.

Visas for these jobs can be for up to 3 years and can offer a pathway to residence. Further details for this pathway will be provided as part of the Skilled Migrant Category review.

Regarding all other jobs

  • All other jobs must pay at least the median wage and you must have advertised to New Zealanders.

  • Visas for these jobs can be for up to 3 years.

  • The Government is considering whether there will be any exemptions to the requirement to pay at least the median wage, and restrictions for some other roles.

Advertising requirements

    The terms and conditions of the job must be clear in the job advertisement. The employer must genuinely consider any New Zealanders who apply.
    Advertising must be for a minimum of 2 weeks on a national job listing website where suitable New Zealanders are likely to apply, or another advertising channel more likely to attract suitable New Zealanders to the specific role.
    Be for a minimum of 3 weeks for skill level 4 or 5 on a national job listing website where suitable New Zealanders are likely to apply, or another advertising channel more likely to attract suitable New Zealanders to the specific role. The employers are need to involve Work and Income.
    Show significant terms and conditions including the minimum and maximum pay rate, the minimum guaranteed hours of work, the location of the job.
    Show the estimated actual earnings where a significant portion of the pay is by piece rate, commission or other rates or bonuses that are not guaranteed.
    Show minimum qualifications, work experience, skills or other specifications necessary to do the job.
Illustration

Calculating the minimum pay rate

To accommodate the median wage threshold, INZ will provide more flexibility when calculating the minimum pay rate for the AEWV.
From 4 July 2022, employee’s pay will be averaged over the number of hours paid in the pay period. Employers will need to guarantee in their worker’s employment that the equivalent of the median wage will be paid per hour, in each pay cycle. Some employers may need to change employment agreements to provide these guarantees.
