“The future of the BIIP is uncertain,” writes James Hall, pointing to new planning levels that will exacerbate the already huge backlog.
Hoping to reduce 30-month processing times for business investor visas, Australia’s government is drastically restricting new applications.
After two years of falling approvals and investments, all arrows finally point in the right direction for New Zealand’s investor visas.
“The program is a mess at the moment,” says ANZ Migration’s James Hall. Some of his clients have waited more than a year for approvals that normally take 3 months.
