Afghanistan → New Zealand
Source-backed New Zealand work route for Afghan citizens who have a full-time job offer from an accredited New Zealand employer. The AEWV is employer-linked: the employer must be accredited, the job must have an approved job check, and the applicant must meet the job's skill, qualification, registration, English, health and character requirements. The visa can allow work for the named employer and limited study, and the maximum continuous stay depends on job skill level and pay.
