Welcome to our channel! In this video, we cover the latest changes to New Zealand's Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV) that take effect from 7 April 2024. These changes affect both current visa holders and new applicants. Here's what you need to know:
Key Changes for Current AEWV Holders:
- If you applied for your first AEWV before 21 June 2023 and hold a three-year visa for an ANZSCO level 4 or 5 job, your maximum stay will be reduced from five years.
- Those on a pathway to residence in ANZSCO level 4 or 5 jobs will not be affected by the maximum stay duration change.
- For further AEWV applications from 7 April 2024, updated criteria must be met, potentially limiting the maximum stay for ANZSCO level 4 and 5 jobs.
Changes for New AEWV Applications:
- Increased requirements for work experience and qualifications for ANZSCO level 4 and 5 roles.
- New minimum skill requirements: 3 years of relevant work experience or a relevant level 4 or above qualification on the NZQCF, with international qualifications needing an IQA if below a Bachelor's degree.
- A minimum standard of English proficiency is now required for ANZSCO level 4 and 5 jobs, excluding current applications and dependents of AEWV applicants.
Updates to Work to Residence and Green List:
- Bus and truck drivers applying for AEWV or starting work on an open work visa from 7 April 2024 will not be eligible for a Transport Work to Residence visa.
- Existing AEWV holders, approved applicants, and those who started work before the cut-off will still qualify.
New Green List additions from 8 April 2024:
- Straight to Residence: Aviation Engineer, Naval Architect, ICT Database and Systems Administrator, Mechanical Engineering Technician, Aircraft Maintenance Engineer.
- Work to Residence: Corrections Officer.
- Previously planned roles for the Green List and Construction and Infrastructure Sector Agreement will not be added.
