• Eligibility advice – covering investment thresholds, timeframes for transfer and investment, and acceptable investment categories.

• Investment documentation review – checking consistency with Immigration New Zealand requirements.

• Supporting documents – preparing source of funds/wealth evidence, investment allocation documents, and compliance records.

We help you structure your investment and application to meet Immigration New Zealand’s requirements and give your application the best chance of approval.
