Upcoming Changes to the Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV) and Median Wage

Starting March 2025, significant updates will be made to the AEWV and median wage policies. Key changes include the removal of the median wage requirement for AEWV and Specific Purpose Work Visa (SPWV) holders, effective from 10 March 2025, with employers only required to meet the New Zealand minimum wage. The work experience requirement will also be reduced from 3 years to 2 years. Additionally, income thresholds for sponsoring dependent children and partners will rise, and visa durations for certain skill levels will be extended.
