- Keep good employee records (including time and wages) and employment agreements up to date. Immigration NZ (and labour inspectors) look closely.
- Advertise roles early. If there are New Zealanders who can fill the role you need to genuinely consider them even if a migrant worker has been with you for a long time.
- Anyone you support coming into NZ keep them posted with the rules on mandatory managed isolation/quarantine on arrival at https://www.miq.govt.nz/
- It’s been a hell of a year! Make sure you look after yourself as well as looking after others. Take a break.

The government has made substantial changes to the Active Investor Plus Visa setting. These will become effective on 1 April. There will be greater opportunities for business to source investment from migrant investors, as the criteria for an acceptable immigration investment have widened considerably.

March changes to Accredited Employer Work Visas
Several changes have been made to the Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV) rules, effective from 10 March 2025. These are positive changes for employers and migrant workers to help grow a skilled workforce.
