New Zealand- Accredited Employer Work Visa

You can apply for the Accredited Employer Work Visa by presenting a job offer from an accredited employer, along with the necessary skills and qualifications. This temporary visa permits a stay in Australia for up to five years.

Notably, this particular visa has replaced the old Essential Skills Work Visa, which was closed for new applications on July 4, 2022. You may access and fill the relevant visa application form and embark on a streamlined process for temporary work authorization in Australia.

Benefits of This visa
  • Employment with an accredited New Zealand employer providing a minimum of 30 weekly work hours.
  • Engage in studies for a maximum of three months within a 12-month span or pursue studies mandated by your employment.
