Frequently asked questions

1. I want to hire a migrant worker. How long will it take from Stage 1 to Stage 3?

All visa application fees and processing timeframes can be found on www.immigration.govt.nz/fees

On our end, we recommend that you allocate around 4-8 months. These depend on many factors, from obtaining police and medical certificates, possible English exam review, to how complicated our application.

2. I am an employer and I need skilled workers. Do you assist in the recruitment process?

Yes, we have a good number of skilled workers in our books. We have a Human Resource Manager who will work on the hiring process for you.

3. I am a job seeker, do you assist in finding employers?

Unfortunately, no. It does not work both ways as we do not help in finding employers. We only process work visas if you already have a job offer from an accredited employer. However, we assist in recruitment for specific professions like Electricians, Midwives, Teachers, Plumbers, Gasfitters, and Drainlayers, specifically those who need a New Zealand registration as these are Green List occupations which mean we are short on these skills.

4. I have a candidate and I am not sure if he meets the criteria for a work visa. Can you help me on this matter?

Yes, we can. We can do an assessment. There is a $345 assessment fee and this is fully deductible should you proceed.

5. I have done some of the stage 1: Employer Accreditation but I am not confident to proceed with stage 2: Job Check, can you proceed from stage 2: Job Check?

Yes, we can. If you only need help at certain stages, then we only work on those stages.
