IMPACT — MEDIUM
The government of New Zealand announced changes to Partnership Work Visas supported by Accredited Employer Work Visa and Essential Skills Work Visa holders.
Key Points:
Additional Information: Partners do not need to have a job offer to apply for the Partner of a Worker Work Visa, and employers do not need to complete a Job Check. Once approved, partners can change employers without applying for a Variation of Conditions, and there is no minimum number of hours that partners need to work. More information regarding the changes to the Partnership Work Visa is available here.
BAL Analysis: Those who have not yet submitted a Partnership Work Visa application will be impacted by the changes if their AEWV partner does not meet Green List or twice median wage requirements. Those who have already applied for or have gained their Partnership Work Visa will not be impacted by the changes until they need to renew their visa.
