A Chinese entrepreneur may miss out on a chance for permanent residence despite setting up a successful business and employing three people.
Businesswoman Lanfang Zhang, 43, had applied for residency under the Entrepreneur Plus immigration category, which offers conditional residency to entrepreneur migrants who invested $500,000 and created at least three fulltime jobs.
Despite having transferred $590,000 into a New Zealand account to start a bathroom-furnishing business, Top Tile and Bathroom, in Glenfield and turning over a decent profit in its first year, Ms Zhang has been told that she has failed to meet policy requirements.
Immigration New Zealand said money in the bank was not considered an acceptable investment, and neither were costs incurred in running the business such as freight charges, import taxes and fees for bio-security and legal services, although it accepted stock purchased as part of Ms Zhang's investment.
"In Lanfang Zhang's case, stock purchased overseas and in New Zealand to the value of $339,262.14 was considered as part of the investment in terms of migration instructions," an agency spokeswoman said.
She said Ms Zhang holds a long-term business visa and could continue to operate her business only until April 7 next year.
She could appeal to the Immigration and Protection Tribunal, but an earlier ruling by the tribunal upheld Immigration's interpretation of the instructions.
It defined business investment as "money committed in a long-term fashion to infrastructure, assets or stock" and "not simply put into a current account to enable the ongoing operation of the business".
The policy instructions also require the investment of $500,000 to be retained for a minimum of two years.
Ms Zhang's immigration adviser, Tuariki Delamere, has written to the Immigration Minister claiming Immigration's interpretation and the tribunal's decision go against the policy objectives.
"So a migrant who brings in stocks and goods for retail to the tune of the required amount must hold on to them for two years before being able to sell them. That's just nonsensical, absurd and wrong," said Mr Delamere.
"It's ridiculous to go around penalising migrant entrepreneurs for being successful in their business, and selling the stocks they imported for the very purpose of selling."
A former Immigration Minister, he supported policies aimed at attracting investments but "clowns and incompetent decisions" were costing the country millions of dollars in lost economic opportunities.
"Immigration's decision was contrary to all fundamental principles of accounting and business," he said.
Since the Entrepreneur Plus scheme was introduced on November 30, 2009, just 19 applications had been approved, nine declined and four withdrawn.
The top nationalities applying under the category were China, South Africa and Russia.
Ms Zhang, who claims to own a similar business in South Africa that had a $5 million annual turnover, said she was not prepared to purchase $500,000 of bathroom stock for her business here.
"The market here is too small, and ultimately my aim is to run a successful business and not just go through the motions to meet immigration requirements."

其实不看是对的,看完心情不好影响睡眠啊

创业移民易拿,不易守。要好好策划从长计议。Planning and implementation are very important.

個人覺得完全是一個白痴的說法,那有人做生意會把所有資金都去買貨?還要兩,三年內要保持這一個價值的貨?那什麼叫生意,人客來也不能賣,因為要保持那個價值的貨. 這個政策完全的自相矛盾.
评论
确实,但如果按照这个移民官的说法,根本是连创移能不能拿下来都成问题
评论
同感,做生意还不能留流动资金,怎么运转,荒唐着呢
评论
叫那位女仕給50萬那個移民部長,看一看他有什麼的本領,50萬全都買貨後,怎樣還可以營運那盤生意,他做到的話,我願意伏在地上給他三個响頭。

海总您说的有道理,确实还要plan的,感觉移民局其实对创移做生意的评判还是没有经验,所以只能用简单的方法,如BP来做一个评定标准,就像BP就是定下来的任务,你有没有一项项去完成,要不他们自己都摸不着头脑。

从文章 看出来,她是做大额创业移民的,50万投资是必须的,另外,公司不能和别人合股,否则投资额就打折扣了。
评论
那20w的创移是不是一样的概念,也是需要全部花掉?
评论
小额的根据你的PLAN,真实做生意是王道
评论
那就不好啦。我便是這種。怎麼可能把資金全都進貨?100萬人民幣的貨,要賣多久?還有誰付我開始時租金,人工?什麼什麼?
覺得他們不是白痴,只是有心為難。有 sense 的人都知道根本不可能。
评论
麻烦。。。花这么多钱买库存。。。到时候肯定还是卖不掉。。。。
评论
哈 白说也说了 等着看结果吧
评论
小额的生意也是要根据你的商业计划来的,现在不少创业移民27个月要求补齐投资额,也是根据你的商业计划中注明的要求,不可能你总投资额是28万,第一次就让你全部投齐,除非你的BP 就是这么想的;关于申请27月时已经要求雇人,这个很多人都明白,也教会了移民局,人家摆明了不相信,所以必须真雇。

很多人写计划书时忽略了资产负债表balance sheet,因为表格里没有要求。以为把Profit & Loss 和 Cashflow 做好就行了。其实P&L, Cashflow 和 Balance Sheet 都得一起做。最后移民局要从资产负债表看你的总投资额,是否达到了你的计划书所写的数额。计划书最好请专家写,还要找熟悉新西兰会计的专家。
评论
那。。。請問什麼算投資?什麼算營運呢?投資只計庫存?租金,人工,稅項等等算是嗎? 那申請50萬那種創移的話,是不是要把50萬全都買進貨物,其他營運費用不得在50萬中拿?
评论
那我想知道20w和50w的投资是一样要求全部钱花完么?
评论
按计划书投资表花。
