Entrepreneurs immigrate to New Zealand.

This year, most mainstream immigrant countries are raising the threshold for investment immigration or skilled immigration, but New Zealand is an exception. Since last year, New Zealand has continuously lowered the immigration threshold, including English, total assets and age requirements. The low investment threshold and low language requirements make New Zealand investment immigrants attract more people's attention.

New Zealand investment immigration policy relaxed

Immigration from New Zealand is a major factor in the population growth in New Zealand. On July 28th, 2009, New Zealand's investment immigration policy was finally promulgated after seven years.

In the seven years since New Zealand tightened its investment immigration policy in 2002, only a few people in the world applied for investment immigration in New Zealand. The new policy is much looser than the original one, mainly in the following aspects: the IELTS requirement for second-class investment immigrants is reduced from the original 5 points to 3 points; The investment amount has also dropped from S $2.5 million to S $6.5438+S $0.5 million; A class of investment immigrants do not need IELTS scores, and the investment amount has dropped from S $20 million to S $65.438+million. Without business experience, they can get a green card in one step. Immigration experts believe that IELTS score of 3, 654.38 NZD +0.5 million investment will become the mainstream of the market.

Although the new policy is still not as loose as expected, it still shows the sincerity of the New Zealand government to absorb new immigrants. Of course, more importantly, New Zealand adopts an objective index scoring system for immigration applicants, which eliminates any artificial uncertainties and can ensure a high success rate of immigration. And New Zealand has always had its unique advantages. For example, applicants can choose to buy government bonds, and the current national interest rate is 4.35%.

In addition, it is worth noting that New Zealand is a country that does not levy capital gains tax, stamp duty and deed tax on real estate sales.

Entrepreneurial immigrants have unique advantages.

Entrepreneurial immigrants are another type of New Zealand investment immigrants, which are more suitable for China applicants who originally favored Australia 163. According to the requirements, the applicant must first obtain a three-year work visa, set up business in New Zealand, and then transfer to permanent residence, similar to Australia's 163 visa.

In order to attract more entrepreneurial immigrants, the New Zealand government began to relax the entrepreneurial immigration policy at the end of 2009, including lowering the English requirement from the original IELTS score of 5 to 4. In addition, if the investment exceeds S $500,000, you can apply for a green card immediately. Entrepreneurial immigrants have low requirements, which can be accepted by shareholders and executives. There are no strict requirements on the company's scale, turnover, profit and total assets, and the trial speed is very fast, and it can be signed in three months. For applicants who originally intended to apply for Australia 163 category but later failed to meet the requirements of the New Deal, New Zealand entrepreneurial immigration is undoubtedly an excellent choice.
