Check the employer and the actual written job, then prepare the applicant file. Accreditation is one part of the process; it should not be described as the worker's visa approval.
Read the current AEWV route
INZ's AEWV guidance links the offered job to an accredited employer and an approved job check for that job. It also sets applicant requirements. INZ describes employer accreditation, the job check and the worker's visa as separate steps. Read Immigration New Zealand: Accredited Employer Work Visa.
Your working sheet
The following is an editorial organisation tool, not an official application checklist. Copy the rows that help and fill them with your own verified records.
| Check | What to record |
|---|---|
| Employer | Record legal name NZBN and official accreditation research |
| Job | Compare location occupation hours remuneration and the written offer |
| Applicant | Identify the current work-experience qualification registration and other instructions for the case |
A practical example
A candidate may be told that an employer is accredited but receive an offer whose location differs from the recruitment discussion. The right next task is to resolve the actual job details and employer process. A positive employer search does not repair an inconsistent offer.
Before the next step
Use the current INZ AEWV page and employer information. Ask who provides the application link and job-related records. Keep occupational registration and applicant eligibility separate from the employer's accreditation, and plan the start around the actual visa conditions.
