NZ Immigration has target times around this, but it's important to obtain advice to ensure you understand the criteria particularly in regard labour market testing. Get in touch with the NZ Immigration Law team for help with your particular scenario.
Employers must become accredited and have a job check approved, before an accredited employer work visa application can be prepared for the staff member. The only alternative pathway for employers to obtain work visas is to use the Specific Purpose work visa category, but these are criteria are narrowly prescribed and this is not an option available for staff members seeking to come to New Zealand for full-time ongoing work.
That will depend upon the number of work visa applications you wish to support and the number of overall work visa holders you will have on staff. We recommend employers seek professional advice on this point as it does come with additional costs from the government.
Standard and high-volume accreditation will last for 12 months initially and then 24 months upon renewal. Employers with labour hire employer accreditation will need to renew this every 12 months.
The process can be very lengthy particularly the employer is not accredited and does not have a job check already approved. The processing times of these 2 employer applications can be lengthy. Requests to expedite the processing can be presented, but they have to be very cogent business reasons. The work visa application process itself can be 8 weeks or more and is influenced by Immigration New Zealand's workflow also processes associated with particular nationalities.
