Talent (Accredited Employer) Work Visa

Have you received a job offer from a New Zealand business who has been approved by the INZ to support the Talent Accredited Employer Work Visa? If you satisfy the job requirements, we can help you get your visa quickly.
Once you get an employment offer for a full-time position from a business in New Zealand who has the INZ (Immigration New Zealand) approval to support your talent accredited employer work visa, you do not have to wait for anything else. As long as you have the documentation to prove that you are fit for the requirements of the job, you can approach the INZ and submit your visa application.
Not only can you work for your accredited employer in the country on this visa, this may actually turn into a talent accredited resident visa, which means that it opens the doors for New Zealand residency in future.
Read on to know more about the eligibility criteria for yourself, your employer and other associated things.

What makes a New Zealand business an accredited employer?

For a New Zealand business to be considered an employer who can support talent accredited work visa applications, they must have:
  • A consistent requirement to employ talent from other countries, and
  • Been approved by the INZ to bypass the requirement of finding local New Zealanders to fill the position before extending the employment offer to a foreigner
INZ provides accreditation for 24 months at a time, post which the employer needs to file for an extension of the status.
Talent (Accredited Employer) Work Visa process is tricky as not only do you have to submit paperwork to show your fitment for the job, but the INZ will also scrutinise the accreditation status of your NZ employer.

How can you satisfy the qualification requirements of the talent accredited employer work visa?

INZ will need the following before approving your Talent (Accredited Employer) Work Visa application; you must provide documentation (including all evidence and supporting documents) to prove that you:
  • Have an acceptable ID
  • Meet good health and character requirements
  • Are not more than 55 years of age
  • Intend to meet the terms of your talent accredited work visa
  • Have been invited by an accredited New Zealand employer to work for more than 2 years in a job that matches their primary business
  • Are going to make more than NZ$ 79,560 in this work your employer will be accountable for
  • Have the needed NZ occupational registration

What are the advantages and conditions of the talent accredited resident visa?

An approved Talent (Accredited Employer) Work Visa authorises your stay in New Zealand for up to 30 months. During the time your visa is valid, you are allowed to:
  • Undergo 3 months study in a 12-month period
  • Enter/Exit New Zealand infinite times
  • Serve the accredited employer in the job, location and occupation mentioned in your Talent Accredited Employer Work Visa approval letter
  • Approach the INZ with your NZ residency application after satisfying the conditions of your visa for 2 years
Here are a few of the conditions imposed by the INZ on your Talent (Accredited Employer) Work Visa:
  • You must show up in the country within 3 months of INZ approving your visa
  • You cannot add your partner or the children dependent on you to your work visa application. However, your partner can get his/her own partnership based visa, and your kids can apply for a separate visa for dependent children

What are your options if your employer is no longer accredited?

INZ may allow you to work for another accredited employer if the one that extended you the job offer is no longer accredited, and you have already received the approval for your Talent (Accredited Employer) Work Visa.
Not only that, you may even be allowed a “variation of conditions” to work with a non-accredited employer in the country, as long as they will pay you at least NZ $79,560 per year.
As you probably realise by now, proving employer accreditation and that your job description meets the grounds on which the INZ had approved their status makes this a process that “faint of heart” cannot handle. Don’t risk your visa and immigration status. After all, this has the potential to get you New Zealand residency!
