What is a Job Check

A Job Check is the second step in the Accredited Employer Work Visa process. This step is done to ensure that no suitable New Zealanders are available or trainable to do the job advertised before it is offered to someone overseas and to support local employment opportunities.

If employment details are slightly different from the approved Job Check

A frequently asked question to us by New Zealand employers and migrant employees is, ‘What happens if the employment details are similar or more favourable but not the same as those approved in the Job Check?’ For example, what is the remuneration range is slightly higher than proposed?

The uncertainty arises because, according to immigration instructions, the employment offered must be the same as those approved in the job check by Immigration New Zealand (INZ). For remuneration, this must be within the range approved at the job check. However, INZ will consider all of the circumstances of the application during the assessment.

The job description, which is part of the employment agreement, must also be cross-checked with the one approved as part of the Job Check. You must also confirm details of your relevant qualification if required for your job and specified by your employer in the job check.

What is a Job Description?

A job description is a document that explains the tasks, duties, functions, and responsibilities of a position.

Details to Include in a Job Description

At a minimum, the employee has to have a description of their work in their employment agreement. Usually, a job description contains the following components: job title, job purpose, job duties and responsibilities, required qualifications, preferred qualifications, and working conditions.

For the purpose of submitting a Job Check application as part of the Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV) process, Immigration New Zealand (INZ) looks for a summary of the job on offer.

The job description doesn’t need to include many fine details, but it does need to reflect the specifics of the job on offer. Information is available on the INZ website that outlines what is needed for the job check process, including requirements relating to the job advertisement.

A job description is a mandatory requirement of INZ while submitting a job check application and needs to be uploaded as such, along with an employment agreement and evidence of advertisement.

While an employer can prepare and upload an unsigned draft contract for the job they are offering, care must be taken to include important details in the job advertisement.

“What documents do I need to submit to Immigration New Zealand (INZ) for a partnership-based visa application?” This is one of the most commonly asked questions when applying for a partnership-based visa to bring your spouse/wife/partner into New Zealand.

Providing the proper evidence is crucial in getting a positive outcome on the application. Conversely, submit false or insufficient evidence, and you might get your visa application declined.

To avoid disappointment, visa applicants must understand the visa category and its requirements. Once you have a basic understanding of the requirements, gathering the evidence will be easy.

Your evidence must show that your relationship is genuine, stable, and credible and that you meet the living together requirement. The list of acceptable evidence depends on several factors, such as the type of partnership-based visa you are applying for, the kind of relationship you share with your partner, the amount of time spent together etc.

Providing the Right Evidence

It would help if you showed that:

• Your relationship enjoys public recognition
• You make decisions & plans together
• You spend leisure time together
• Co-parent, if you have children

INZ will assess how long you and your partner have been together if you have any children, how committed you are to a life together etc.

Living Together

Living together is one of the most important aspects of a partnership-based visa application. ‘What evidence can I provide to show that we have lived together?’ is another commonly asked question. Living together means sharing the same home as your partner. It does not mean spending time at each other’s house, sharing accommodation while on holiday, or living as flat-mates in the same place. Providing sufficient evidence to establish this aspect is crucial in the decision-making process. Joint financial documents and joint rental agreements are some of the documents that can help establish this.

Suppose you and your partner have lived apart for some reason (Eg. one of you worked in a different country). In that case, sufficient information regarding this must be provided with the application to enable the immigration officer to make an informed decision. For example, you must address the reason for living apart, how long you have lived apart and how you kept in touch with each other.

Genuineness & Stability

Marriage certificates, birth certificates of children, evidence of communication with each other and proof of joint financial responsibilities are just some of the evidence you can provide to show that your relationship is genuine & stable.

The above is just a basic outline of what could be submitted with an NZ partnership-based application. In addition, sufficient evidence has to be provided to show that the relationship is genuine & ongoing with the intent of maintaining it on a long-term and exclusive basis.

When travelling to countries like Cook Islands, Fiji, Niue, Samoa, Tonga, Vanuatu etc travellers often transit through New Zealand. A commonly asked question is “Do I need to apply for a visa if I am just passing through New Zealand?”

This blog will answer the above question.

What is a Transit Visa?

A transit visa is issued to a traveller who is transiting (i.e. passing through) one country to reach another destination.

When do you need a New Zealand Transit Visa?

Travellers passing through New Zealand to reach another country, usually one of the Pacific countries, and who do not plan on staying in New Zealand beyond 24 hours need to apply for an NZ Transit Visa.

Transit passengers can only travel through the Auckland International Airport and must stay in the airport’s transit area (aka the immigration control area) or remain on board the aircraft.

What you can do with an NZ Transit Visa

• Stay at Auckland International Airport’s designated areas only for up to 24 hours.
• Include your partner/ spouse and children 19 years of age and below in the same application
• Travellers from visa waiver countries must hold a New Zealand Electronic Travel Authority (NZeTA)

Who does not require a Transit Visa or NZeTA?

• New Zealand citizens and Residence class visa holders
• Holders of valid NZ temporary class visas
• Australian citizens

Transit Visa Waiver Countries

If you are from a transit visa waiver country and pass through the Auckland International Airport on your way to another country, you do not have to apply for a visa. Instead, you must get an NZeTA before travelling to New Zealand.

Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand, Kiribati, Naru, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Tonga, Tuvalu, Venezuela, Colombia and the Bahamas are some of the countries that feature on the List of Transit Visa Waiver Countries. You must see the complete list for clarity by clicking here.

Essential things to keep in mind

• NZ Transit Visa rules keep on changing. The onus is on the traveller to check if they can transit through New Zealand.
• When applying for an NZ Transit Visa, you will have to provide evidence of onward travel plans, E.g. Valid tickets for the onward journey
• With an NZ Transit Visa, you cannot travel to New Zealand i.e. you cannot exit the Auckland International Airport
• If you plan to stay in New Zealand beyond 24 hours, you must apply for a General Visitor Visa.

Many jobs are available in New Zealand for those who want to migrate to this beautiful country. However, realising the issue’s sensitivity, the New Zealand Government allows New Zealand employers who cannot find suitable New Zealanders to fill vacancies and recruit workers from overseas.

Overseas recruitment is a long and tedious process that is complex, costly and time-consuming and therefore requires planning, patience and perseverance from NZ employers.

Plan the Recruitment Process

The planning can take into consideration following factors:

• Find out the requirements for supporting a migrant worker’s visa application and see if the job vacancy meets visa category requirements.
• Be aware of the cultural differences and consider what skills and qualifications from different countries would suit the New Zealand workplace.
• The job advertised must be able to reach its target audience overseas. Employers can have tie-ups with recruitment agencies or the local Economic Development Agency.
• Country-specific rules and regulations need to be taken into consideration.
• Be mindful of the timeframes as the journey from deciding to recruit overseas workers to get a visa is a long one. Advertising vacancies, evaluating CVs, interviewing candidates, conducting reference checks, and visa application processing take time.

Besides the employer, newly recruited overseas workers also need time to prepare their documentation for the visa process and prepare to move to a new country. In addition, getting medical and police clearance certificates and renewing passports often need clarification from the Licensed Immigration Adviser (LIA) acting on your behalf. On top of that, some jobs require occupational registration, which also takes time.

Advertising Jobs

When advertising jobs, avoid using slang, colloquial language and confusing phrases. Make sure that the advertisement is simple, clear and to the point. Include a clear and realistic job description that is easy to understand for anyone. Mention key information like the job title, salary, leave provisions etc. If the employer provides boarding & lodging, he can include the information in the job advertisement.

Avoid Biases

The employer must avoid biases in the recruitment process to reap the benefits of diversity. Biases can lead to missing out on finding the best person for the job. Avoid unconscious stereotypes like selecting persons with English-sounding names or persons of a particular gender. Instead, focus on what is important – the experience and skill of the candidate.

Benefits of Hiring Migrant Workers

Though recruiting migrants is a long, drawn-out process, it does have its benefits. Diversity helps to bring in talent from across the globe with a wide range of knowledge, problem-solving skills, technical know-how and connections. In addition, having effective hiring processes for migrant workers can help attract suitable candidates and find the right person.

Recruitment is a very important process of finding the right candidate for the job which will benefit the organization. It’s best to plan, be prepared, avoid biases and be open-minded.
