Immigration New Zealand (INZ) has announced that, from Wednesday, November 20, 2024, employers will need to confirm that staff involved in recruitment decisions for Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV) holders have completed Employment New Zealand learning modules and paid time has been given to migrant workers to complete these.
What to Expect
- Applicants will no longer need to provide further evidence with their application to renew their accreditation.
- Where there are concerns, INZ may ask for further evidence.
- Further changes are being considered as part of the next stage of the review into the AEWV scheme, including removing the requirement to provide an employment agreement with a Job Check application and to complete Employment New Zealand modules.
