🌟 Great News for AEWV Applicants! 🌟
Work Rights Extended for More Interim Visa Holders – Effective 8 April 2025

Kia ora! From 8 April 2025, if you're applying for an Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV) and your current work or student visa (with work rights) expires while your AEWV is being processed, you may be granted an Interim Visa that lets you work in the role and for the accredited employer named in your AEWV application.

✅ This means:
🔹 You can start working sooner, without waiting for the final visa approval
🔹 Your Interim Visa will be granted automatically if you're eligible
🔹 Your time on the Interim Visa can count towards Work to Residence pathways and AEWV stay limits

📌 Make sure to check the visa letter that comes with the Interim Visa—it confirms the work rights (this info won’t appear in VisaView). You can use this letter to prove your right to work to your employer.

This change makes it easier and faster for AEWV applicants to transition into employment while waiting for Immigration NZ’s decision.

AEWV Dependent Child Visa – What You Need to Know

2️⃣ You are in a lower-skilled role, and earn at least 1.5 times the median wage

⚠️ Keep in mind: Meeting these income or skill-level criteria does not automatically guarantee eligibility. Every application is assessed on a case-by-case basis, and other factors may apply.

Exciting AEWV Reforms for Employers in 2025

The Government has announced significant changes to the Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV) process to address skill shortages and streamline hiring. Here are the key impacts for employers:

No More Median Wage Threshold: Employers must offer market-rate wages based on the role and location, making it easier to hire for positions across sectors.
Reduced Experience Requirements: Migrants now need only 2 years of experience instead of 3, broadening the talent pool.
Streamlined Job Check: From July 2025, low-risk employers will benefit from faster processing and simpler Job Check steps.
New Seasonal Worker Pathways: Launching in November 2025, these include a 3-year multi-entry visa and a 7-month single-entry visa for seasonal roles.
Extended AEWV Duration: ANZSCO Level 4 and 5 workers can now secure 3-year visas, reducing renewal frequency.
Simplified Work and Income Process: Employers only need to declare engagement with Work and Income when recruiting for low-skilled roles, with no 21-day timeframe.
Enhanced Interim Visa Work Rights: From April 2025, interim visa holders can continue working while awaiting AEWV processing.
No Mandatory Online Modules: As of January 2025, employers no longer need to complete Employment NZ training modules, simplifying the accreditation process.
These changes aim to provide flexibility, reduce administrative burdens, and support employers in filling skill gaps more effectively.

Stay tuned for more details coming in 2025!
