The AEWV Accreditation Process: Your Gateway to Hiring Skilled Migrants in New Zealand
Navigate the Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV) process with ease. Learn about employer accreditation, job advertising, and Job Checks with Surani Associates' expert guidance.
Understanding the AEWV Accreditation Process
Are you a New Zealand employer looking to hire skilled migrants? The Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV) process is your pathway to bringing talented international workers to your team. At Surani Associates, we're here to guide you through each step of this important journey.
Before you can support a migrant worker's AEWV application, you'll need to complete three crucial steps:
Obtain Employer Accreditation: This is your first and most important step. Accreditation verifies that your business meets the standards required to hire migrant workers.
Advertise the Role (if required): In many cases, you'll need to advertise the position to ensure no suitable New Zealand citizens or residents are available.
Apply for a Job Check: This final step confirms that the role you're offering meets AEWV requirements.
1
Employer Accreditation
Employer accreditation comes in three levels:
Standard
High-volume
The type you need depends on your business structure and how many migrants you plan to hire. Each level has specific requirements and fees.
2
Job Advertising
Unless your role meets certain exemptions, you'll need to advertise the position to New Zealanders first. The duration of advertising depends on the skill level of the job:
14 days for higher-skilled roles (ANZSCO levels 1-3)
21 days for lower-skilled roles (ANZSCO levels 4-5)
3
Job Check Application
Once you're accredited and have completed any necessary advertising, you can apply for a Job Check. This step ensures the job meets AEWV criteria and New Zealand employment standards.
