Business Visitors Visa

Business Visitor Visa

You can apply for this visa if you want to visit New Zealand for business reasons. You will need to provide evidence that you have enough money to live on while you are in New Zealand or have the financial support of your employer. You cannot work in New Zealand on a Business Visitor Visa, but you can carry out the specific business, for which you were granted a visa.

Some of the reasons for which you may be granted a Business visitor visa are:

• to carry out an official trade mission recognised by the New Zealand government
• to sell goods and services in New Zealand
• to buy New Zealand goods and services
• to negotiate or discuss the set-up, expansion or wind-up of a business in New Zealand
• to carry out any business with the authorised representatives of an overseas company, body or person
• To carry out any other work activities, or stay longer than three months, you’ll need to apply for a work visa.

If you are from a visa waiver country, you do not need a Business Visitor Visa, but you must hold an NZeTA (New Zealand Electronic Travel Authority) before travelling to New Zealand.

While in Zealand, you can work, travel, and even study. You can also bring your partner and/or dependent children, but you will need to include them on your application.
