WA4.5 Applying for an Accredited Employer work visa

1. An Accredited Employer work visa application must be made using the approved online form provided on the INZ website.
2. Applicants must include evidence demonstrating that they meet the Accredited Employer work visa instructions, including:
   1. a copy of the employment agreement; and
   2. a copy of the signed offer of employment; and
   3. a job token (a number referring to a job that has been approved as part of a Job Check application) from the accredited employer that has offered them employment, that meets the requirements at WA3.40.5; and
   4. evidence that they hold acceptable medical insurance that covers the period of employment offered, if their application is for a Peak Seasonal Visa based on an offer of employment for a period of more than 3 months (see WA4.13).

      Note: The signed offer of employment does not have to be a separate document to the employment agreement, as long as it is signed by the applicant and employer and includes all information required by WA4.10.1. 

3. An Accredited Employer work visa application must be made using a job token that has been granted under the same AEWV pathway (see WA1.10(a)).
