Last year, the Government decided to extend the initial accreditation period for the Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV) as a one-off to give employers more certainty while they get used to the accreditation system.
Apply before 4 July 2023 to become an accredited employer and you will receive a 24-month accreditation if you are approved.
First time accreditation applications made after 4 July 2023 will only be for 12 months.

You do not need to take any action if you have an accreditation application in process. If approved, your 12-month accreditation will be updated in the enhanced Immigration Online system to 24 months by 2 June 2023.
