Immigration New Zealand recently announced changes to employer assisted visa policy settings, that will come in to effect over the next two years.
The policy will require employers to gain accreditation with Immigration New Zealand, and provides different labour market test requirements based on geographical location and wage rates. The full detail on the policy can be found here.
The Restaurant Association will be running a hospitality-specific seminar on the policy changes on 11th November and Immigration NZ will also be running employer sessions over the coming weeks – details are below for you to register.
