Applications will officially open in November 2025, offering migrants with capital and proven business expertise a clear route to residence.<\/p><p>Replacing the long-standing Entrepreneur Work Visa, which has now closed to new applications, the Business Investor Visa represents a sharper focus on attracting investors who bring both funding and operational experience. It complements April\u2019s refresh of the Active Investor Plus Visa and is designed to stimulate economic growth by supporting job creation, productivity, and innovation.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><h4><span style=\"color: #ed7d31\"><strong>Visa options and residence pathways<\/strong><\/span><\/h4><p>The Business Investor Visa provides <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><span style=\"color: #ed7d31\"><a style=\"color: #ed7d31;text-decoration: underline\" href=\"https:\/\/www.beehive.govt.nz\/release\/new-business-investor-visa-support-growth\">two investment options<\/a><\/span><\/span> for applicants:<\/p><ul><li>$1 million investment in an existing business, leading to a 3-year work-to-residence pathway<\/li><li>$2 million investment in an existing business, with a 12-month fast-track to residence pathway<\/li><\/ul><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Applicants can either acquire a business outright or purchase at least 25% of an established business to meet the minimum investment threshold.
