AEWV recognises 47 more National Occupation List roles
In force
Visa & immigration
From 9 March 2026 Immigration New Zealand added 47 National Occupation List occupations at skill levels 1 to 3 for AEWV purposes. The NOL is progressively replacing ANZSCO for AEWV assessment, but applicants using another visa such as Skilled Migrant Category must still follow that route’s occupation rules.
Who it affects
Accredited employers and workers in the newly recognised NOL occupations.
