IMPACT – MEDIUM
Immigration New Zealand recently closed three visa pathways in preparation for a new Accredited Employer Work Visa that will be launched on Nov. 1, 2021.
Key Points:
Additional Information: INZ will continue to accept temporary work visas including Essential Skills and Talent Work to Residence visas until Oct. 31. Migrants holding a current temporary work visa are not affected by the aforementioned changes. Existing accredited employers will not be able to utilize the streamlined pathway into the new scheme.
BAL Analysis: The changes to temporary work visas are designed to help regions and businesses find qualified workers while ensuring New Zealanders have priority in the job market. Additionally, the changes intend to protect migrant workers’ rights and place increased responsibility on the employer throughout the application process.
