Hi. I was lucky enough to attend the UK Launch of the new Entrepreneur Work and Residence Visas at New Zealand House last week. (Wow - the view from that Penthouse is amazing!). The key details are available in the Operational manual now. Here are a few key things I noted.
1. There won't be a regular draw of EOI selections. If they have enough points (20 min) EOIs will be examined more closely and if they meet the requirements, they will be processed.
2. If your proposed business is a passive one, e.g. Property management, you may not meet the criterion that you have to work full-time (30 hours a week or more) in the business.
3. Businesses that are new, innovative and have export potential will me greeted with enthusiasm.
4. There is no definitive timeline yet, but people applying under these rules will be processed as promptly as through scrutiny and analysis will allow.

I will do my best to answer questions if I know the answer and have enough time.
Cheers
Karen
