Business & Investor Visas for New Zealand

New Zealand offers specialised pathways for people who want to invest here or be actively involved in a New Zealand business. UniPass focuses on the main business and investor categories and helps choose the right path and prepare strong applications.

Major Business & Investor Categories

The main pathways we work with are:

Business Investor Work and Residence

Specifically for experienced business people wanting to buy or establish a business in NZ.
Three-year work visa pathway typically leading to residence after successful operation.

Active Investor Plus Residence

Designed to attract high-value indirect and direct investments into NZ companies.
Flexible investment options allowing for varied risk profiles and asset classes.

From Investment to Residence

Both Business Investor and Active Investor Plus pathways can lead to residence if investment, time and policy requirements are met. Our process ensures you follow the most strategic path to permanent settlement.
