Don’t miss your last opportunity to get on a pathway to residence
The Minister of Immigration recently confirmed that it will not be possible to submit new visa applications under the Talent (Accredited Employer) and Long Term Skill Shortage List Work Visa Categories after 31 October 2021.
If you are eligible to apply for either the Talent (Accredited Employer) Work Visa or the Long Term Skill Shortage List Work Visa it is critical to ensure that your visa application is submitted, preferably online, by 31 October 2021, when this opportunity will close forever. Talk to us to see if you are eligible to apply under the current policies before you lose this opportunity.
New Zealand employers who have been able to secure Accreditation status with Immigration NZ or who hold Accreditation status that remains valid beyond 31 October 2021 are able to use this status to support Talent (Accredited Employer) work visa applications up to 31 October 2021 only.
It is no longer possible for employers to submit applications for Accreditation status under the current Accreditation policy.
Where to from here?
It is clear that pathways to residence and options for migrant workers will become very limited going forward. The window of opportunity is short, and for those whose work visas are expiring in the next 6-12 months now, more than ever, it is important to have the right advice to plan ahead.
