Investment Visas

If you are wishing to invest funds in to a business in New Zealand there are 2 types of investment resident visas.

There are 2 types of investment resident visas:

• Investor 1
  An investor must have NZ$10m which he/she must invest in New Zealand for a minimum period of 3 years; and
• Investor 2
  The investor must have at least NZ$1.5 million to invest for a minimum period of 4 years and another NZ$1 million to use for their own settlement in New Zealand.  They must be 65 years old or younger, have at least 3 years business experience and have an English language IELTS score of at least 3.

In both classes the investment funds must be:

• Legally acquired.  Proving the provenance of the funds is necessary for a successful application;
• Owned by the investor or the investor and his/her partner and/or his/her dependent children;
• Must be unencumbered and not borrowed
• Must be transferred to an approved investment in New Zealand.

We can prepare a successful Investor application for you.  We will recommend a registered New Zealand financial advisor to work with you to ensure that you will have a well-structured investment portfolio that meets the approved investment requirements for immigration purposes.
