How much does it cost? Can I bring my family with me and will that also allow my wife to work?
Answers
The Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV) may be granted for the period for which the employment is offered, up to a maximum of 3 years.
You may stay in NZ for 3 years if you are paid above the median wage or 2 years if you are paid below. The current median wage is $27.76 per hour. The application fee and levy is set at NZD$595. Our service fee is NZD$3000-$5000 depending on the complexity of the application and the number of family members included. Yes, you may bring your partner and dependent children. Your partner will be able to apply for a work visa based on your partnership.
Simple answer: yes and three years. Nobody can answer you accurately regarding costs.
