About applying for employer accreditation
If an employer becomes an Accredited Employer, they can offer employment to workers from outside New Zealand without having to prove that there are no suitably qualified New Zealanders available, or readily able to be trained, to do the work.
Their prospective employees will then be able to apply for work visas and permits under the Talented (Accredited Employers) Work Policy.
