Employer Accreditation Visas for New Zealand

Home /  New Zealand Visas and Emigrating To New Zealand /  Employer Accreditation Visas for New Zealand

Applicants with high level of skills, particularly in knowledge based industries and other areas that will contribute to New Zealand

The purpose of accreditation is to allow employers to more easily recruit highly talented workers from overseas, facilitating employers’ access to global skills and knowledge thus complementing the Governments education, training, employment policies and economic strategies.

Applicants recruited under this policy will have a high level of skills, particularly in knowledge based industries and other areas that will contribute to New Zealand’s capacity base.

If an employer becomes an Accredited Employer, they can offer employment to migrants. Being a accredited means Immigration New Zealand have thoroughly assessed the company and found that they are compliant with Employment and Immigration Laws and have skill shortage needs that can not be filled within the current New Zealand talent pool.

Their prospective employees will then be able to apply for Residence or Work Visas based on their migration pathway.

Approved employers are granted accreditation for 24 months at a time.
