Can I buy a business or set up a business?

You’re able to negotiate business arrangements under a Visitor’s Permit so long as your stay is no more than three months.  If you want to stay in New Zealand you will need to qualify under one of our existing categories. You cannot set up a business on a Visitor’s Permit.
