Business and Investment in New Zealand

We are pleased you are thinking of New Zealand, and welcome people who would like to invest in or operate a business here. If you are still deciding whether New Zealand is the place for you or your business take a look at InvestNow or contact us, and we'll answer your questions.

Under our Long Term Business Visa (LTBV) policy you can apply for a three-year work visa to give you enough time to move to New Zealand and start your business before you apply for residence. After running your business for two years you may be eligible to apply for residence as an entrepreneur. You may also gain residence as an active investor.

For Employers

We also deal with applications from New Zealand employers who want to gain accreditation, so they can offer employment to overseas workers.
