Successful Work Visa Case 19

We recently assisted a Vietnamese client in obtaining a Migrant Exploitation Protection Work Visa (MEPV), a crucial pathway for migrant workers in New Zealand facing exploitation. This visa allows individuals to leave exploitative jobs without jeopardising their visa status.

Our client had endured unfair workplace treatment that affected his well-being and sense of security. With the MEPV, he was able to leave his unsafe job and gain the freedom to pursue new employment opportunities without visa-related concerns.

We provided end-to-end support, guiding him through the application process and addressing all his questions. By ensuring he met the eligibility criteria outlined in the Immigration Act 2009 and assisting in compiling the required evidence, we submitted a strong application that was swiftly approved. This outcome empowered our client to seek better, safer work opportunities.

This case underscores the value of New Zealand’s safeguards for migrant workers. With the right guidance, those facing exploitation can protect their rights and secure a brighter future.
