We’re there for employers
Pacific Legal has an excellent track record helping employers. The closed border poses real challenges for employers. Change is the only constant. See our regular blogs for updates.
For staff who are already in New Zealand we can assist you with extensions. Again our regular blogs provide updates.
At Pacific Legal, we have supported various migrants who came to work in New Zealand and helped employers bring overseas workers into the country to fill skills gaps where needed.
The key policy for employers is the accredited employer work visa
Requirements for accreditation include a sound financial position, genuine effort to recruit locally, and good employment and immigration record.
After the employer has been accredited, the job will be checked to ensure it meets both employment and immigration requirements. Finally, the applicant will be assessed.
Contact us through our employer enquiry form below or on 09 666 0440.
Are you seeking to renew visas onshore?
The Accredited Employee work visa allows some employees looking to further their stay in New Zealand, so long they remain working in their current employment.
Pacific Legal can help ensure you meet all the requirements and that your application goes as smoothly as possible. We provide a initial consultation with employers looking at accreditation by appointment. Send us your details.
Some onshore categories of workers including working holiday makers and seasonal workers have had extensions available for some countries . Contact us for advice on this.
Are you an employer seeking staff from overseas?
As regulations are constantly changing for both employers and migrants, it is crucial to get advice from an immigration lawyer who can support your journey and raise awareness of regulation changes and anything you need to be mindful of.
At Pacific Legal, we have supported many migrants who came to work in New Zealand and helped employers bring overseas workers into the country to fill skills gaps where needed.
