    What is 2 + 5 ?

    Are you involved in the Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV) program, either as an employer, applicant, or simply someone looking to stay informed?

    What's Changed?

    • For Applicants (ANZSCO Skill Levels 4 & 5): Raising the Bar - You'll now need to demonstrate at least 3 years of relevant work experience or a level 4 qualification (NZQF) to qualify.
    • English Language Testing: Proficiency in English is mandatory.

    For Employers:

    • Stricter Requirements: You'll need to verify applicants meet the new minimum skill requirements and ensure they have the necessary English language skills (for ANZSCO skill levels 4 & 5 roles).
    • Shorter Stays for Certain Roles: The maximum visa length and total stay in New Zealand are reduced for some ANZSCO level 4 & 5 jobs (typically 2 years with a potential 1-year extension).
    • Increased Responsibilities: New obligations include a 30-hour minimum workweek requirement for AEWV workers and reporting migrant departures earlier than previously required.
