The New Zealand Business Visitor Visa is for short commercial visits — attending meetings, conferences and trade fairs, business consultations, or exploring investment opportunities. It is a visitor-class visa: you may take part in business activity, but you cannot take up employment or be paid by a New Zealand source.

The cap is three months in any one calendar year. Frequent business travellers can be granted multiple-entry validity, sometimes up to three years, at the officer's discretion. Because the supporting documents — an employer letter and a New Zealand invitation — answer the genuineness question cleanly, business cases are often decided faster than standard visitor visas.

Lifeset Overseas helps you and the inviting New Zealand company assemble a precise, consistent business file so the purpose of the trip is never in doubt.
