Overview:  New Zealand’s Long-Term Business Visa opens the door for entrepreneurs to set up and run a business in the country. It’s designed for those ready to invest time, skills, and resources into building something lasting. A smart step for turning business plans into reality.

This type of visa enables people to start or buy a business in New Zealand as a path to migration.

Applicants must submit a business plan, show relevant knowledge about the New Zealand business environment and how their business will contribute to New Zealand.

If approved, the successful applicant may stay in New Zealand for nine months to establish their business and may not extend it, for up to three years.
