Aaron Martin: Immigration Lawyer on the Government potentially tightening visa requirements as migrants look to buy job offers in New Zealand
The Mike Hosking Breakfast - A podcast by Newstalk ZB
An immigration lawyer says people are asking to buy job offers in New Zealand. Newshub reports 10 young migrant workers claim they paid between $50-70,000 to Indian agents for the jobs, but were underpaid and made redundant just months in. Immigration Minister Erica Stanford says she's seeking advice to further tighten settings for the Accredited Employer Work Visa. Immigration lawyer Aaron Martin told Tim Dower that some people ask recruiters, immigration agents, and immigration lawyers here how much it will take to buy a job. He says they spend a lot of time saying that's not legal in New Zealand and they won't deal with them, but there's clearly a group of employers who are tempted.
