New Zealand expands work visa list, raises immigration wage threshold
New Zealand is expanding its Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV) by adding 47 new occupations to the National Occupation List from March 9, 2026. The immigration median wage will also increase to NZD 35.00 per hour on the same date. These changes aim to broaden eligible roles and adjust income-linked visa settings, reflecting current labour market conditions.
