Successful Case: Migrant Exploitation Protection Work Visa

We recently helped a client from Vietnam navigate a challenging situation by securing a Migrant Exploitation Protection Work Visa (MEPV). This special visa is designed to protect migrant workers in New Zealand who face exploitation, allowing them to leave unsafe jobs without risking their visa status.
​
Our client came to us after experiencing unfair treatment in the workplace, which impacted his well-being and security. Under the Migrant Exploitation Protection Work Visa, he was able to safely exit his exploitative employment and gain the freedom to look for a new job without fear of visa complications.

How We Helped

  • Comprehensive Support: From initial consultation to final application, we guided our client through each step, simplifying the process and addressing his concerns.
  • Eligibility and Documentation: Meeting the criteria under the Immigration Act 2009 is essential for this visa type. We worked with the client to ensure he met these requirements and helped gather evidence that demonstrated his experience.
  • Successful Outcome: With a thorough application and detailed documentation, our client’s application was quickly approved, giving him the opportunity to move forward and pursue a positive employment experience.

Conclusion

This case highlights the importance of New Zealand’s protections for migrant workers. With the right support, migrants facing exploitation can take action to protect their rights and find better, safer opportunities.
Note: The client and Simon never once met in person and conducted all communications through our advanced IT system. It was due to the restrictions on travelling and meetings because of Covid-19. However, when the restrictions got lifted, our firm decided to continue the no face to face meeting policy after we found out it was more practical and efficient.
