Applying for accreditation: checklist for employers using controlling third parties
This checklist is to help employers who need to gain accreditation before hiring migrant workers on the Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV).
Employers are encouraged to train, upskill and hire New Zealand workers before they hire migrants. If you are an employer and you cannot find suitable New Zealanders for a role, you can apply to hire migrants on the Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV). Before you can get accredited, you need to show you are a viable business and you meet employment and immigration standards.
You do not need to get accredited to hire migrants on other work visa types, such as post-study work or working holiday visas. Employers of Recognised Seasonal Employer (RSE) workers need to be accredited under the RSE scheme.
