Dear Adam,

 

On behalf of the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment I
acknowledge your email of 17^th May 2021 requesting under the Official
Information Act 1982 (the Act), the following:

 

‘When will the next review of the immigration categories will take place:
-Essential Skills Work Visas -Entrepreneur Work Visa -Entrepreneur
Residence Visa (including Plus) -Investor 2 Residence Visa -Investor Plus
Residence Visa -Employees of a Relocating Business Residence -Global
Impact Visa (Work and Residence) Additional, will there be consideration
on the use of settlement funds to be used towards purchasing a new build
home, rather than allowing them to complete with kiwis for preexisting
homes. Will the Global Impact Visa hold applicants accountable like all
other categories in terms of needing to meet what they promise for
business delivery and benefits, to gain residency, and will there be a
requirement for them to generate at least a sustainable level of income,
at least the NZ minimum wage. Lastly when will INZ require investment
funds and the acceptable investments to be held directly by the principal
applicant (rather than through trusts or companies, domestic or foreign)
so that those investments will be subject to personal New Zealand
taxation. As it is them as that is a private person that is apply.’

 

Your request is being processed in accordance with the Act and a response
will be sent to you in due course.

 

If you have any enquiries regarding your request, or its urgency, feel
free to contact us via email at [1][MBIE request email].
