- New Zealand Job Check

Once employer accreditation is approved, the next step is to apply for Job Check. The purpose of the job checks is to ensure there are no New Zealanders available for the job.
If your job checks are approved after that a migrant worker can apply for an AEWV. An approved job check is valid for 6 months or until you no longer hold accreditation, whichever is earlier. INZ fee for applying for job check is $610.
The employment verification process encompasses the demonstration that the position satisfies the specific criteria established by Immigration New Zealand, such as the provision of fair market wages, acceptable employment terms, and genuine efforts to recruit New Zealanders first. Employers are required to provide evidence of proper advertising and ensure that the job aligns with visa requirements, as these factors are essential for approval. Completing a compliant application is essential not only for securing overseas talent but also for contributing to the skilled migrant residency stream, which enables workers to transition toward permanent residency in New Zealand.
