New Zealand Investment Immigrants 2023

Step 1: Fill in the Application Form for Intention to emigrate (EOI). You need to meet the following basic requirements: invest 2 million New Zealand dollars for 5 years; The main applicant for investment still needs to reach the standard of an average of 5 points in English IELTS; The principal applicant must be at least 54 years of age and have more than 5 years of working experience, and the investment funds must prove that the source is legal; Prove that you have the will and ability to successfully settle in New Zealand and make contributions to New Zealand. If you have invested for five years, you must show proof, otherwise the Immigration Bureau will cancel the family visa. Applicants must have good health and moral qualities. Then, fill in the application form (NZIS 1 125) provided by the Immigration Bureau. Step 2: Apply for settlement If the EOI you submitted meets the basic requirements of the Immigration Bureau, the Immigration Bureau will invite you to enter the settlement application procedure. According to the personal and family information provided by you in EOI, the Immigration Bureau generates an application form for investment immigrants to settle in the computer system (NZIS 1 126), and you need to fill in this form as required. You need to answer other questions of the Immigration Bureau and provide the required supporting documents within 3 months after receiving the invitation to apply for settlement. At the same time, you must prove that you intend to live in New Zealand as your main residence and that you have the ability to support yourself and your family. Step 3: Transfer the funds to your New Zealand account. If the Immigration Bureau believes that all the certificates provided in the settlement application form can support your immigration intention in EOI, the Immigration Bureau will approve your application in principle. At this time, you need to convert your assets filled in EOI into cash and transfer NZD 2 million to your personal bank account in New Zealand within 6 months. When you complete the investment transfer, you need to submit to the Immigration Bureau the proof that your NZ $2 million investment was converted from the assets you filled in at EOI. Step 4: Sign a contract If the Immigration Bureau is satisfied with the certificate of fund transfer provided in step 3, the Immigration Bureau will sign a contract with you. The contract lists the specific terms and conditions you need to transfer these investments to the New Zealand government. You need to sign this contract and give it to the immigration officer in charge of you within two months. Please note that your residence visa or permit may be revoked if you violate various terms and conditions in the contract. (If you are in doubt about the terms, I suggest you consult a legal adviser.) Step 5: Transfer the investment to the New Zealand government. After signing the contract, the Immigration Bureau will ask you to transfer the investment of 2 million yuan from your personal account in New Zealand to the designated account of the New Zealand government. After completion, you need to show the transfer certificate to the immigration office. Step 6: Conditional Residence Visa (Permit) When the Immigration Bureau is satisfied with the transfer certificate you present, it will issue a residence visa (if you are outside New Zealand) or a residence permit (if you are in New Zealand) to you and your family members who apply together. This visa/permit is conditional in the first five years (that is, the investment period): the investment funds are controlled by the government, invested in infrastructure, and are not allowed to be deposited in banks. After two years of investment, you can withdraw half of the funds, but you still need to invest in New Zealand for five years. Before withdrawing funds, you need to apply to the Immigration Bureau and submit a new investment plan. Only after the plan is approved can you withdraw funds, and you need to pay an application fee of NZD 750 to change the investment plan. During the five-year investment period, you and your family must take New Zealand as their main residence. If necessary, you must accept the evaluation and inspection of the labor bureau.
