How to handle entrepreneurial immigration in New Zealand?

New Zealand entrepreneurial immigration is a common name, which includes two visa applications: 1. Three-year self-employed work visa and 2. Entrepreneur immigrant visa.

The basic requirement for entrepreneurial immigrants to apply for a residence visa is that the applicant has already held a long-term business visa and has successfully established a business beneficial to the country in New Zealand.

Long-term business visa is a special work visa, which is issued to those who are interested in starting a business in New Zealand. The long-term business visa is valid for three years, and the holder can enter and leave New Zealand multiple times.

Visa holders should work in the enterprises they invest in when they are in New Zealand, not just be employed (note: spouses with ordinary work visas can find other jobs). Holders of long-term business visas and their family members are not allowed to apply for social assistance in New Zealand.
