1: What is New Zealand entrepreneurial immigration? What is a New Zealand long-term business visa?

Entrepreneurial immigration is a kind of application for residence visa, and its basic requirement is that the applicant has successfully established a business beneficial to the country in New Zealand. Long-term business visa refers to a special work visa, which is issued by people who are interested in starting a business in New Zealand. The long-term business visa is valid for 3 years, and the holder can enter and leave New Zealand multiple times. Visa holders should work for the enterprises they invest in while in New Zealand, not just be employed (note: spouses with ordinary work visas can find other jobs).

2. What are the requirements for applying for a long-term business visa?

Long-term business visa applications must meet the following basic conditions:

Have a satisfactory business plan

In addition to investment funds, there are enough funds for their living and housing expenses in New Zealand, as well as their spouses and children.

Meet the requirements of healthy body and sound personality.

The business immigration officer is convinced that the applicant is interested in setting up a business in New Zealand.

In the process of hearing the application, the immigration officer will first examine whether the applicant meets the following requirements:

There are sufficient funds to support the implementation of the business plan

Provide realistic financial forecasts

Have relevant business experience

There is no record of bankruptcy or business failure in the past five years.

There has never been any commercial fraud or financial misconduct.

If the proposed business needs to be registered in New Zealand, the applicant must complete the registration before submitting the application.

Provide sufficient personal materials, business background, proof of funds and other supporting documents.

3. Can an applicant apply even if he doesn't know English?

Absolutely! There is no requirement for English proficiency in the policy. However, if the applicant's English is good, it will help him understand the New Zealand market and be more popular with the Immigration Bureau.

4: Is it okay to have no business background?

If the applicant has no business and management experience (including being hired as a department manager), it is difficult to pass the application. However, applicants are not required to have the same entrepreneurial experience, that is, they can apply for starting a business that they have never done before and use their previous experience to manage the business. In the future, the requirements for relevant business background will become more and more strict.

5. How much investment does it take to start a business in New Zealand?

The policy itself has no specific investment requirements. That is, as long as the business plan is reasonable, the financial ability can meet the requirements of implementing the business plan and living expenses. But according to our analysis, unless it is a special project or has special skills, the project investment should be above 500,000 RMB.

6. What is a business plan?

Business plan refers to the plan to start a business in New Zealand, which needs to include the information required in the business plan and the appropriate supporting materials required by the Immigration Bureau. The business plan has four parts, namely:

1) business planning

2) Financial information

3) Business experience

4) New Zealand market knowledge

The proportion of these four parts is not the same, among which: business planning accounts for 30%, financial information accounts for 25%, business experience accounts for 25%, and New Zealand market knowledge accounts for 20%. Business plan is specially written by professionals as an important document for long-term business visa application.

7. How to write a business plan?

The business plan consists of 4 parts and 33 items (business plan includes 1 1, financial information includes 7 items, business experience includes 8 items, and New Zealand market knowledge includes 7 items). Some items are hard items, such as the applicant's academic qualifications and English level. These items can only be filled in according to the actual situation, and provide supporting materials; There are also some soft projects, such as business experience and marketing strategy. Soft projects are places where you can do more articles.

According to the policy, the New Zealand Immigration Bureau can submit the business plan to an independent person for review, and the independent evaluation results and suggestions will be considered by the business immigration officer as a decision. At present, the business plan is submitted to KPMG for review, and KPMG makes evaluation opinions on the business plan. Therefore, it is necessary to write a business plan and hire an accountant or business consultant who understands New Zealand's business environment and policies and regulations, and the applicant himself is involved. For our customers, we help the applicant to sort out the background materials and give them to our professional accountants or business consultants to fully communicate with the applicant.

8. How to ensure that immigrants get a green card after three years?

Long-term business visa holders can apply for entrepreneur immigration (that is, apply for residence visa or green card) after starting a business in New Zealand for two years. Whether you can successfully apply for entrepreneur immigration depends on whether the applicant meets the following requirements of the policy:

1) has established business in New Zealand.

2) This business is beneficial to New Zealand in some aspects (such as paying taxes, solving employment, introducing new technologies and skills, etc.). ).

9: What can be done to establish a business and this business is beneficial to New Zealand?

The successful establishment of a business in New Zealand refers to the establishment, purchase or full investment of a business operating in New Zealand, in which the principal applicant has worked for at least two years. Adequate investment means buying 25% or more shares in a company.

The criterion for judging whether a business is beneficial to New Zealand is that a business can be regarded as beneficial to New Zealand if it promotes the economic growth of New Zealand. For example:

Introduce technology, management or skills.

= Introduce the product or service.

Develop export market

= employees (including the principal applicant himself)

Promoted the development of business.

10: Can the applicant's spouse and children go to New Zealand together?

Applying for a long-term business visa is a family unit. One person succeeds, and the whole family succeeds. That is, the application includes the principal applicant, his spouse and minor dependent children. The requirement for children is 19 years old (subject to the date of application), unmarried and childless.

1 1: Can the spouse work?

Sure! This is a new policy. The original policy only allowed spouses to work for the applicant's enterprise. According to the new policy, spouses can get an ordinary work visa and work in New Zealand.

12: What is the policy for children to study?

With the main applicant obtaining a long-term business visa, his minor dependent children under the age of 19 will receive a valid student visa for 3 years. If you study in public primary and secondary schools in New Zealand, you can enjoy the treatment of local students without paying tuition fees for international students; However, if you enter an institution of higher learning, you need to pay tuition.
