New Zealand New Accreditation

With the introduction of new employer accredited work visa, it has become mandatory for NZ employers to be accredited before they can offer jobs to migrant workers. This new accreditation process is different from the one that existed earlier, for instance, employers have to now commit to settlement support of migrants being hired as well as allowing them time to complete Employment NZ’s online modules.

Employers who got accreditation under old rules and whose existing accreditation will expire from 23 November 2022, can be exempt from their initial accreditation fee, and if they apply before this date.
