Who can hire on an Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV)?

Only an employer accredited by Immigration New Zealand, and the job must pass a job check before you apply for the visa. Each job here says whether its employer is on the accredited employer list.

How do I check that an employer is still accredited?

Search its name in our New Zealand accredited employer list, which shows whether its accreditation is current or has lapsed.

Can I apply from the UAE, Saudi Arabia or Qatar?

Yes. These work visas are applied for from outside the country, so you can apply while you work in the Gulf or anywhere else. Many applications also ask for a police clearance certificate from the countries you have lived in, and the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Qatar issue them.

Is ApplyWave an employer or a recruitment agency?

No. ApplyWave lists jobs from employers and helps you prepare and send your application. We do not employ anyone or sponsor visas, and real employers never charge money for a job or a visa sponsorship.
