Start with Immigration New Zealand's employer-accreditation guidance before using the AEWV pathway.
Immigration New Zealand explains the accreditation process for employers hiring through the Accredited Employer Work Visa pathway. Read the current employer requirements, accreditation types and application process rather than relying on an old recruitment example.
Its employer-accreditation guidance also links to the job-check and recruitment steps. Follow the official sequence for the role and worker; accreditation alone should not be treated as a worker's visa approval.
