Licensed New Zealand Immigration Adviser · Licence 202603558
Business migration is where the money at stake is largest and the margin for error smallest. Aimee structures the application around your capital and your commercial reality, not a template.
These categories are assessed by specialist Immigration New Zealand teams and scrutinised closely. Structure, source of funds and commercial credibility carry as much weight as the amount invested.
Thresholds and settings in this space change more often than any other. Aimee confirms current criteria before you commit capital.
New Zealand’s principal investor residence category, weighting different investment types differently and requiring the investment to be held for a set period.
For people establishing or purchasing a New Zealand business, assessed on a detailed business plan, capital and relevant experience.
Residence for entrepreneurs who have successfully operated their New Zealand business for a qualifying period.
Residence for parents of New Zealand citizens or residents who make a qualifying investment and meet income requirements.
For executives, specialists and intra-company transfers coming to deliver a defined project or role.
Advice on how a proposed structure interacts with visa requirements, coordinated with your accountant and lawyer.
Aimee does not give investment or financial advice. She advises on immigration criteria and how your proposed structure interacts with them, and works alongside your accountant, lawyer and financial adviser.
Money alone does not carry a business application. Provenance and credibility do.
Aimee is a licensed adviser who handles your file herself, from the first assessment to the decision letter.
An honest read on which categories your capital, experience and timeframe actually support.
The single most common failure point, and the one that takes the longest to prepare properly.
Aimee reviews your plan against what the category requires, not just whether it reads well.
Aimee coordinates with your accountant and lawyer so the structure and the visa criteria do not conflict.
Prior refusals, complex holdings and offshore structures handled with proper submissions.
Ongoing obligations, investment maintenance and the step to permanent residence.
Every application is different, but the shape of the journey stays the same.
Aimee establishes your capital position, commercial background and timeframe, and identify the categories genuinely open to you.
A written plan covering the recommended category, evidence requirements and how your structure needs to look.
Source of funds, business plan, corporate records and personal documentation assembled and verified.
Filing, responding to the assessing team, and managing conditions through to approval.
Thresholds vary by category and are reviewed regularly, so any figure quoted on a website ages quickly. Aimee confirms the current requirements against your position at assessment stage, before you commit any capital.
Categories specify which investment types qualify and, in some cases, weight them differently — direct investments into New Zealand businesses are generally treated more favourably than passive holdings. The investment must also be held for the required period.
Very. Expect to trace the capital from how it was originally earned through to the account it is invested from, with documentary evidence at each step. This is routinely the longest part of preparing a business application and the most common cause of delay.
Your partner and dependent children are normally included in the application, subject to health, character and in some cases English language requirements. Adult children fall outside these categories and need their own pathway.
No, and no immigration adviser should. Aimee advises on immigration criteria and how a proposed structure interacts with them. Decisions about where and how to invest belong with your licensed financial adviser, accountant and lawyer, and she works alongside them.
Tell Aimee where you are today and she will tell you honestly what is possible. Your first eligibility assessment is free and comes with no obligation.
