Investor Visa NZ

The Business Category and Investment Category of visas is aimed at people who have demonstrated a successful business background with a genuine intent to invest in and/or own a business overseas. Partners and dependent children can be granted work and student visas alongside the holder of the work visa and then be included in the residence visa.

There are a range of options to invest in New Zealand:

This visa is for people who have been self-employed in New Zealand at least 6 months, or have operated a business for two years on another visa that allows self-employment.

Experienced business people who have a minimum of NZD $3 million in available funds or assets can apply for New Zealand residence. Before you can apply, we’ll first need you to send us an Expression of Interest telling us about your business experience and investment. If your Expression of Interest is successful we’ll invite you and your partner and dependent children to apply for New Zealand residence.

If you have NZ $10 million to invest in New Zealand over a 3-year period, you can apply for New Zealand residence. If you’re granted residence you can come to New Zealand with your family and enjoy our unique lifestyle.

If you’re an APEC Business Travel cardholder intending a short stay, you can come to New Zealand to carry out trade and investment activities. You’ll need to have clearance from your home economy and New Zealand before you travel. While you’re here, you can enjoy New Zealand’s scenery, adventure, culture and friendly people.
