The New Zealand Long Term Business Visa is an excellent way to migrate to New Zealand for those interested in starting a business or buying an existing business in New Zealand. It is a 3 year temporary residency permit that leads onto the Entrepreneur Category which then entitles the applicant to permanent residency in New Zealand.

You will need to show that:

• You have either owned your own business/worked for yourself or held a management position responsible for all aspects of the business operation.
• You are of good health and character and any accompanying family member meet English language requirements.
• Your plans are genuine i.e. you have a satisfactory business plan with detailed financial information. Your business plan is critical and can be appraised by our staff.
• You have sufficient investment capital to setup your business.
• You have not been involved with a business failure/fraud or wrongdoing within the last five years.
• You have funds to cover your living expenses.
• You have either owned your own business or held a management position responsible for all aspects of the business operation.
• Your business will be good for New Zealand i.e. result in providing employment and/or transfer of skills.
• You have researched New Zealand i.e. its a good idea to visit New Zealand beforehand and make contacts i.e. schools, franchise brokers etc visited. It also helps to put a competition matrix together if there is existing competition.
