The Government of New Zealand has announced that applications for two new seasonal visa categories will open on December 8, 2025, under the Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV) framework.
The new visa types — the Global Workforce Seasonal Visa (GWSV) and the Peak Seasonal Visa (PSV) — aim to help accredited employers bring in additional workers during periods of peak seasonal demand.
According to the New Zealand Immigration Department, job checks and visa applications for both categories will begin in December. The introduction of these visas is expected to provide greater flexibility for employers across key industries facing temporary labour shortages.
More details are available on the official Immigration New Zealand website.
