How difficult is it to get a New Zealand entrepreneurial immigrant visa?

1. What is the work visa for entrepreneurial immigrants in New Zealand?

Nowadays, many China people apply for a work visa for entrepreneurial immigrants from New Zealand to go to New Zealand. Entrepreneurial immigrant work visas refer to entrepreneurs who want to do business in New Zealand. They need to apply for a work visa for entrepreneurial immigrants first, and then apply for a resident visa for entrepreneurial immigrants after doing business in New Zealand for two years. According to experts, recently, the refusal rate of work visas for entrepreneurial immigrants reached 80%, and the refusal rate of resident visas was as high as half.

2. China people are still the main force of entrepreneurial immigrants.

Although the work visa refusal rate of entrepreneurial immigrants is so high, people familiar with the immigration business know that the main force of entrepreneurial immigrants' application is still China applicants. In 20 16, the number of applicants from China was as high as 70%, far exceeding that of any other country.

3. Applicants from China have encountered many difficulties.

Although China applicants account for a large proportion of the work visas of entrepreneurial immigrants, they are also facing cruel problems! The Immigration Bureau is now very strict with the land control of entrepreneurial projects. If you are not an industry that can export New Zealand products, industries with high growth, high technology or significantly increase local employment and make significant contributions to New Zealand will basically not be approved.

There are several reasons why the work visa of entrepreneurial immigrants is refused: if the planning and implementation of entrepreneurial projects are quite different, or the results of business plans are changed at will; The contribution to New Zealand is too small, and there are no bright spots in taxation, employment and export; In terms of employment, the retention of wages, holidays and contracts required by the employment law is incomplete and irregular; Risk capital is transferred to New Zealand without legal channels, or the original approved funds are not used; The business is losing money, and the Immigration Bureau can't believe that the business is stable and successful.

Do you have to pack up and leave when business fails?

No matter in any country, even at home, it is very difficult to start a business, let alone in a strange environment. The business environment and tax environment are unfamiliar, so it is difficult to ask for success before emigrating.

Entrepreneurship itself has risks and variables. In order to immigrate, entrepreneurs have to go against the original plan, which increases the difficulty. If the business does not improve in the first three years, in the view of the Immigration Bureau, even if the business fails, some applicants will continue to insist and seize the last time, while others will give up. Therefore, when entrepreneurial immigrants choose this road, they should think clearly and don't rush into an industry, otherwise they will only pay for the subsequent failure.

Have entrepreneurial immigrants become chicken ribs?

Now, since the new government came to power, New Zealand's immigration policy has undergone great changes. However, there is no new policy on entrepreneurial immigration. However, the insiders believe that entrepreneurial immigrants seem to be the "chicken ribs" in the eyes of the Immigration Bureau. On the one hand, the Immigration Bureau still welcomes everyone to start a business in New Zealand; On the other hand, the Immigration Bureau's requirements for entrepreneurs are too harsh, regardless of entrepreneurial goals, funding requirements, contributions to New Zealand and other factors. The actual threshold is indeed too high.

Many applicants for work visas for entrepreneurial immigrants in China have found consultants in China and prepared various materials, but these are far from enough, because New Zealand pays more attention to the follow-up performance of entrepreneurs. When entrepreneurs came to New Zealand, they found that the result of starting a business was getting farther and farther away from the original plan to apply for a work permit, which was completely different from their own imagination, and the profit was not as good as originally imagined. They even have to pay money and taxes to complete this entrepreneurial step, which not only increases legal risks, but also often backfires.

Therefore, before coming to New Zealand, applicants for entrepreneurial immigration must know the actual situation through multiple channels, reasonably evaluate the risks and opportunities of entrepreneurial application, and rationally think about the problems that may be encountered in starting a business in a strange environment. It is best not to find the problem difficult to solve after two years in New Zealand, which will inevitably affect the living arrangements of the whole family.
