Talent (Accredited Employer) Work Visa
Do you have a full-time job offer from a New Zealand accredited employer?
If you have a full-time job offer from a New Zealand accredited employer to fulfil a skill they need, you may be eligible to apply for a Talent (Accredited Employer) Work Visa.
Who is a New Zealand Accredited Employer?
A New Zealand accredited employer is someone who:
- Has a regular need to recruit overseas skilled or talented workers; and
- Has pre-approval from Immigration New Zealand to hire skilled foreigners without doing a labour market test to determine if any New Zealanders are available for that work
Employers are accredited for 24 months at a time; they must reapply after this term.
It works well for everyone involved. The accredited employer does not have to go through the documentation process for every foreign hire, which simplifies the process of hiring an international worker substantially. You also get the support you need as your employer understands the complexities of immigration.
What is the Length of a Talent (Accredited Employer) Work Visa?
You can stay in New Zealand for 30 months on a Talent (Accredited Employer) Work Visa.
During this term, you can:
- Work for New Zealand accredited employer who offered you work
- Apply for New Zealand residence after working for 2 years with an accredited employer
