Immigrate to New Zealand
Want to immigrate to New Zealand from Hong Kong?
New Zealand is ahead of the curve in so many ways. No matter whether its politics, health, education or the environment it leads the way. New Zealand’s temperate climate, lush green scenery, and lower cost of living make it an attractive option for people who are looking for an alternative to Australia.
New Zealand business visas can lead to securing permanent residence or temporary residence with the opportunity to secure permanent residence at a later date. The two visa options are:
- Investor
- Investor Plus
New Zealanders believe life is for living. It’s about balancing a good day’s work with time for family and friends. Both on a personal and economic level, New Zealand looks to have a bright future. If you’re looking for a fresh start, there is no better place for you and your family.
