There are 75 different types of work visas, with 11 categories that may be relevant to a prospective employer. The category an employer should use depends upon the circumstances necessitating the hire, or the circumstances of the employee or prospective employee. And each category has its own differing criteria and documentation requirements. It can be a minefield for people to negotiate the complexities of these requirements unaided.
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.
Generally an accredited employer work visa will be needed. This is the largest category of work visa issued to people who have been recruited by New Zealand businesses. If you want to offer a job to a foreign national, that person will most likely apply for this category of work visa. There are some exceptions, but they will depend on the nature and purpose of the employment.
Generally employers will have to demonstrate they are financially sustainable, compliant with immigration and employment laws and also commit to specific obligations imposed on accredited employers. It is important that employers be familiar with those obligations and have systems in place to ensure compliance.
Professional fees will depend upon complexity. Get in touch with the NZ Immigration Law team for help with your particular scenario.
