Overview:

Australia’s Business Innovation and Investment Program (BIIP) officially closed on 31 July 2024, leaving many business-minded individuals uncertain about their options for permanent residence. However, New Zealand offers a promising alternative with its Entrepreneur Work Visa, designed to attract skilled businesspeople and investors seeking a pathway to New Zealand Citizenship.


Why Consider New Zealand?

The Entrepreneur Work Visa provides an achievable pathway for skilled and talented individuals and their families with minimal investment. It offers several unique advantages:

1. Dual Access to Australia and New Zealand

  • Under the Australia-New Zealand Closer Economic Relations Trade Agreement (ANZCERTA), New Zealand permanent residents can live, work, and study in Australia with ease.
  • Enjoy the benefits of free trade in goods and services, fostering business growth across both nations.
  • Seamlessly access two strong economies, enhancing business and career opportunities.
  • Experience the unique advantage of living in New Zealand while enjoying the benefits of Australia.

2. Business and Lifestyle Opportunities

  • Access to two of the most stable and prosperous economies in the world.
  • High standard of living, world-class education, and healthcare systems.
  • Excellent environment for entrepreneurs and investors to thrive.
  • Opportunity to expand and diversify investments in a thriving economic region.

3. Family and Citizenship Pathway

  • Secure a better future for your family with access to high-quality education and healthcare.
  • Pathway to New Zealand Citizenship, which also grants the right to live and work in Australia.
  • Enjoy the peace of mind and security of permanent residency in one of the world’s most desirable regions.

Our Suggested Requirements:

To be eligible for the Entrepreneur Work Visa in New Zealand, you must:

  • Have a minimum capital investment of NZD $100,000 (exceptions may apply for businesses in science, ICT, or high-value export sectors). We recommend allowing for operating funds and having access to approximately USD $250,000.
  • Demonstrate competent or above English proficiency.
  • Provide a detailed business plan showing your intention to establish or purchase a business in New Zealand.
