Investing and business 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 Discover and Decide or Contact Us.

Under our 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. As an Active Investor you may also gain residence.

For Employers

We also deal with applications from New Zealand employers who want to gain accreditation, so they can offer employment to overseas workers. You may require help with completing your application. Contact Us for confidential advice.
