I was wondering if someone who has completed the residency requirements in New Zealand i.e: stayed 184 days every year for the first two years can enter into opening a sex related business. I read across the following which is confusing:

To be eligible for an operator's certificate, applicants must be over the age of 18, be a citizen or permanent resident of New Zealand or Australia, and not have any disqualifying convictions as discussed above. A person in New Zealand who has a temporary or a limited purposes permit is not allowed to act as an operator of a New Zealand business of prostitution. In addition, a person who holds a provisional residency permit may have that permit revoked if they operate or invest in a business of prostitution.

Any light on this will be appreciated.
