If you have been offered employment in New Zealand, chances are you will need to apply for an Accredited Employer Work Visa in order to work in New Zealand.

This visa requires the employer to be already accredited with Immigration New Zealand and have an approved job check for the position offered.

The duration of visa varies depending on the pay rate. If paid the existing median wage, then an applicant can be granted a visa for up to five years.

Accredited Employer Work Visa may be able to support a work visa for their partner and visitor or student visas for their dependent children. Dependent children visitor or student visas can only be supported if you earn at least NZD $43,322.76 each year.
