How To Employ Migrants And Recruit Overseas Workers

VisaAide specialises in helping NZ employers employ migrants

The talent your business needs could be overseas. We’ll help you bring them here. At VisaAide, we make it easier for New Zealand employers to attract, hire, and retain migrant workers — without the stress of navigating the immigration system alone.

We’re a team of Licensed Immigration Advisers who specialise in employer-focused visa services. Working alongside our People Inc partners, we offer an end-to-end solution — from workforce planning to immigration compliance — so you can focus on running your business.
