Citizens from all Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC/) economies except Australia who want to take up temporary residence for business purposes in New Zealand must apply for a work visa, unless their stay will be for no longer than three months in any one year and they will only be in New Zealand to discuss and negotiate business arrangements. Those people may enter as visitors.
A work visa is an endorsement in your passport to allow you to enter or re-enter New Zealand. It shows you have permission to travel to New Zealand and may be granted a work permit when you arrive. The visa may be single for one journey or multiple for more than one journey and may be issued for up to three years' duration.
The objective of the business immigration policy is to attract migrants who will contribute to economic growth through:
- increasing New Zealand's level of human capital; and
- encouraging enterprise and innovation; and
- fostering external links.
There are currently four business categories available:
Investor Category
The Investor Category is a points based system. This means you score points based on a number of factors such as age, business experience and investment funds. Your application will only be successful if you score sufficient points to meet the pass mark.
Entrepreneur Category
You may apply under the Entrepreneur Category if you have successfully established a business in New Zealand for a period of at least two years.
Long Term Business Visa/Permit
You may apply for a Long Term Business Visa/Permit if you are interested in applying for residence under the Entrepreneur Category. You may also apply under this category if you are interested in establishing a business in New Zealand but do not wish to live permanently in New Zealand. This is not a residence policy. You will be granted a work visa or permit for up to three years if your application is successful.
Employees of Relocating Businesses
You may apply under the Employees of Relocating Businesses category if you are a key employee of a business relocating to New Zealand. This category is set up to assist the promotion of New Zealand as a place in which to invest and locate business, by facilitating the granting of residence to employees of businesses relocating to New Zealand.
