The New Zealand Family Migration Program is one of the most genuine, secure, and
accelerated pathways to settle in a first-world country. Unlike Australia, Canada, the
USA, or many European nations, New Zealand offers a uniquely streamlined
migration opportunity through investment-based shareholder or business
directorship routes.
This program is particularly suitable for families seeking long-term stability, high
living standards, world-class education, healthcare, and a clear pathway to
Permanent Residency (PR) and Citizenship.
To qualify for this program, applicants must be capable of investing as a Shareholder
or Business Investor (As a Director) in an Accredited New Zealand Company.
The required investment amount ranges from NZD 500,000 to NZD 1,000,000,
depending on the specific investment and immigration policy.
Once the shareholder or directorship investment is completed, applicants may apply
through one of the following visa pathways:
1. Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV)
Upon becoming a shareholder, you will be eligible for a Accredited Employer Work
Visa for yourself and your full family.
This visa is valid for 5 years, and PR can be obtained within 1 to 3 years depending on
the investment amount.
