A Chinese man has been living in an Auckland garage for three months and working illegally after paying more than $17,000 for an accredited employer work visa.
The construction company who was supposed to give him a job says it didn't realise he was in the country even though the visa was approved in January.
Dozens of workers have been left jobless and destitute after paying thousands of dollars for the visas which ties them to employers and makes it illegal for them to find new jobs.
