Entry preparation and rights
Working in New Zealand
New Zealand is best assessed through a genuine offer from an accredited employer. The accreditation is a starting check, not a guarantee that every job or applicant qualifies.
Job areas to investigate. Eligibility depends on the vacancy and work route.
Jobs to explore
An accredited employer and the applicable job checks are central for the AEWV route. Do not assume a Pacific seasonal scheme accepts Filipino applicants.
Getting a job and work permission
Accredited Employer Work Visa
Match the written job offer to the employer and the approved hiring process. Ask whether the role requires occupational registration before you can start.
Check the work application requirementsComplete the Philippine departure process alongside the destination application.
Documents & Requirements
Accredited Employer Work Visa
The offer must meet New Zealand’s market rate for the occupation and the applicable minimum wage. The AEWV does not have one blanket median-wage threshold for all jobs.
Residence and family plans
Wage-linked requirements can still apply to residence routes, particular occupations and supporting family members. Meeting the basic work-visa wage test does not satisfy every later immigration application.

Living in New Zealand
Auckland is a high-cost starting point. For work elsewhere, consider transport and whether a car is needed, as lower rent can come with a longer commute.
