I got my resident visa (with 2 year traveling conditions) few months ago. However, my father in law have got serious sickness and my wife must go back soon. I cannot take care two children here ( one is 1.5 year old and one is 5.5 year old) and we decided to go back our home country together before finish 6 months holding NZ resident visa in New Zealand.
We are now considering the way to keep my resident visa and also apply for permanent resident visa in next 2 year because we still want to come back after solving our personal issue.
My question here is that:
(1) if we buy 25-30% shares of an existing business, what are the conditions of this business (e.g how big business, area of which the business operates) we must consider? Is it ok if we buy shares of an existing restaurant or nail shop or cleaning company?
(2) Do the shares can be hold by me (principle applicant) only or both I and my wife? if both, how many for each is enough?
(3) Because we cannot predict my father in law situation so we may not come back New Zealand within 2 years (it means that we will only stay in New Zealand around 5-6 months of the first year). Can I apply for permanent visa from overseas in this situation if I buy 25% share of an existing business?
Many thanks.
