Step-by-step walkthrough of the three-stage AEWV process: employer accreditation, job check, and migrant work-visa application.
Procedural walkthrough only. Drafted from publicly available INZ documentation as of 17 May 2026. The portal UI may have changed since then — verify each step against the live portal.
For advice on whether to lodge, what to claim, or how to optimise your application, consult a IAA-licensed adviser. Self Migrate provides information, not advice.
