投资者1类居民签证 (Investor 1 Resident Visa)
也被称为投资者加强版居民签证 (Investor Plus Resident Visa),此类别签证的批准过程比投资者2类居民签证更直接。如果您能承诺将 1000 万新西兰元的投资在新西兰保持 3 年,那么投资者1类居民签证是您的不二之选。

- 
在满足 3 年投资者1类居民签证规定后,您可以申请新西兰永久居留权 
- 
您带入新西兰的某些物品可能会免除关税,例如您的汽车、船只和家居用品 
投资者1类居民签证有哪些条件?
以下是您必须满足的一些投资者1类居民签证的条件:
- 
在 3 年投资期内的后 2 年中,在新西兰居住超过 44 天;或者在整个 3 年期间居住超过 88 天。根据您构建投资的方式,此条件有一些变化 
- 
在第 2 年和第 3 年后提交您所做投资的证明。您将有 3 个月的时间提交文件,并被允许在任何可接受的投资工具之间转移您的投资 
投资者加强版居民签证是 INZ 提供的所有基于投资的签证中最好的选择。然而,对投资类型、居住要求和其他复杂因素的限制条件意味着您必须寻求合格移民专家的帮助以避免被拒签。
Investor 1 Resident Visa
- 
Also known as Investor Plus Resident Visa, the approval process for this category is more straightforward than the Investor 2 Resident Visa. If you can commit to keeping an investment of NZ$ 10 million in New Zealand for 3 years, Investor 1 Resident Visa is the way to go. 
- 
What extra do you get with an Investor 1 Resident Visa compared to an Investor 2 Resident Visa? Here are the additional perks of an Investor Plus Resident Visa:

Submit proof of the investments you have made after the 2nd and 3rd years. You will have 3 months to submit the paperwork and are allowed to move your investments between any acceptable investment instruments
