How to handle entrepreneurial immigration in New Zealand?

Entrepreneurial immigrants are another type of business immigrants in New Zealand. Applicants get a work visa for 65,438+02 months, which can be extended to 3 years after establishing business in New Zealand. You can apply for permanent residence after doing business in New Zealand for two years, which is similar to Australia's 163( 188 visa), and the requirements are lower than those of investment immigrants. Since the end of 2009, the New Zealand government has relaxed the entrepreneurial immigration policy, including lowering the English requirement from the original IELTS score of 5 to 4. If you invest more than S $500,000 and add three full-time employees, you can immediately turn into a green card. Therefore, entrepreneurial immigrants from New Zealand are increasingly favored by customers in China.
