Frequently Asked Questions

World Visa Academy's New Zealand Business Investor Work Visa Training Course covers investor eligibility, business selection, acceptable investment requirements, business and legal due diligence, source-of-funds documentation, Business Proposal preparation, application procedures, business operation and the pathway to the Business Investor Resident Visa. The course focuses on practical case assessment so consultants can structure investor cases and identify potential issues before submission.

The visa is designed for experienced business people who want to invest in and actively run an established New Zealand business. Applicants must meet requirements relating to investment, reserve funds, business experience, age, English, health, character and their ability to actively operate the nominated business. The nominated business must also meet specific Immigration New Zealand requirements.

Applicants need evidence supporting their identity, business experience, investment funds, reserve funds, lawful source of funds and proposed business purchase. The application also requires a Business Proposal and supporting evidence, including business valuation and financial and legal due diligence from appropriately qualified professionals. World Visa Academy training teaches consultants how to organise and cross-check these documents before submission.

Applicants first identify an acceptable established New Zealand business and conduct financial and legal due diligence. After meeting the visa requirements and receiving the appropriate approval, the applicant purchases and begins operating the nominated business during the Establishment Stage. The applicant then continues operating the business and works towards the Business Investor Resident Visa requirements.

The course is suitable for immigration consultants, investment-migration advisers, business consultants, visa filing professionals and professionals working with international entrepreneurs and investors. World Visa Academy provides structured training in investor profiling, business assessment, due diligence, documentation, application preparation and residence-pathway requirements, helping learners develop practical New Zealand business-investor case-management skills.
