New Zealand is opening new doors for international investors. From November 2025, the Business Investor Work Visa offers two clear pathways to residence:
- $1 million investment – a 3-year work-to-residence pathway
- $2 million investment – a 12-month fast-track to residence
You can buy a business outright or acquire a 25%+ stake, and both options make you eligible to apply for the Business Investor Resident Visa.
