Fortune Manning Lawyers Provide Assistance for OIO Process

As part of their immigration services, Fortune Manning Lawyers can facilitate your investment in New Zealand. As you will be aware, our government encourages foreign investment, but there is an application process if your acquisition involves sensitive land (this covers a wide range of land, namely non-urban areas greater than five hectares, or any land that includes or adjoins bodies of water or other sensitive areas such as land administered by the Department of Conservation), business assets or securities with a value greater than $100M NZD or fishing quotas.

If you are an overseas investor considering, or already in the process of purchasing land, Fortune Manning are able to determine if the land will be considered ‘sensitive’ and whether you will be required to make an application for approval by the Overseas Investment Office (OIO).
