If you are looking to recruit someone from outside of New Zealand to work in your business, or have found the ideal employee in New Zealand, but they’re on a working holiday visa, or are having problems securing a work visa for an existing employee Immigration Law can help you.

Immigration Law understand recruitment can be a costly exercise, so they work in partnership with their corporate clients to give them the tools to deal with aspects of the work visa application process internally. Sometimes this involves reviewing a work visa application formulated by your HR team or the employee concerned, and at other times it involves them stepping in to assist with an application that has run into problems. Alternatively, it may involve them managing an application through all stages of the immigration process to ensure the successful migration of that critical staff member.

Immigration Law can assist you to gain permission to recruit multiple workers into New Zealand with one application rather than several single applications, which saves you time and money. Once you gain this permission, you and your HR team can have confidence that your business is up to standard to meet the rigid application of “labour market testing” that will be applied to any subsequent work visa applications.

The increasing number of work visas being issued shows a need for New Zealand businesses to engage with Immigration New Zealand and the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment. Skill shortages are affecting many industry sectors from the trades to the IT professions, and employers often have to look outside of New Zealand for suitable employees. Employers may also need to support applications for work visas for ideal candidates who are already in New Zealand, so for more information on best immigration lawyers in Auckland, NZ immigration services and immigration advice NZ please go to https://www.nzil.co.nz .
