Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV)

Overview

The Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV) is New Zealand’s primary visa pathway for skilled migrant workers looking to take up employment with an accredited employer. If you have a valid job offer from a New Zealand company that holds employer accreditation, you could be eligible for this visa — and Ezy Immigration is here to help you through every step of the process with the support of our experienced licensed immigration advisers .
