From 27 November 2014 there will be a change under the Entrepreneur Work Visa (EWV) Category bonus points for potential new businesses.
Businesses proposing to locate in Auckland will no longer be able to claim 20 bonus points on the basis of having been granted formal support from a local agency, e.g. a business development agency, local council or Chamber of Commerce.
Businesses will still be able to claim 20 bonus points for being based outside of Auckland.
This change has been made to promote regional development, by allowing only potential businesses in EWV applications based outside Auckland to be granted 20 bonus points.
