Questions about visa sponsorship jobs
- 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.
