Immigration New Zealand (INZ) held a webinar on 18 May 2022 about the job check requirements and visa application process for the Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV). You can view the recording of this webinar on the INZ YouTube channel.

INZ previously held other webinars covering the AEWV employer standard accreditation requirements and additional requirements for franchisees and employers using controlling third parties. You can also view the recording of these webinars on the INZ YouTube channel. Watch the recordings below.

The phrase ‘after 31 July’ was used during the webinar when talking about when the Skilled Migrant Category (SMC) will reopen.

For clarification, the SMC will not reopen until after the 2021 Resident Visa applications close on 31 July. No decision on the date for reopening has been made yet, however it is likely to be in the second half of 2022.
