Entrepreneur
The
aim of the Entrepreneur category is to attract migrants who will be
active to contribute to New Zealand’s economy.
* You may become eligible for residence in New Zealand under the Entrepreneur
category if you have been legitimately “self employed” in
a business within New Zealand for at least two years under a different
visa. “Self-employed” means your active involvement in the
management and operating of a business in New Zealand.
* You must own at least 25% of the shareholding of the business. Self-employment
does not include purely an investment in a business.
