Global Impact Visa (GIV)

Can you make this world a better place by bringing about long-lasting positive impact? Would you like to do it in the conducive environment New Zealand offers, and benefit the country? We can help you with your Global Impact Work Visa.
The Global Impact Visa is offered by the INZ (Immigration New Zealand) in alliance with the EHF (Edmund Hillary Fellowship). The goal of the Global Impact Work Visa is to draw exceptional talent from the international pool of promising people who have the vision, investment, start-up group memberships or entrepreneurial skills to change the world, not just New Zealand, with long-term positive impact.
The GIV is an excellent chance for you to establish or assist innovative ventures in the country while you stay and work in New Zealand. Not only that, but the Global Impact Visa also clears the way for permanent residency after you satisfy specific conditions of this visa.
You have to start your Global Impact Work Visa journey by getting a fellowship from the EHF.

How can you improve your chances of getting accepted to the Edmund Hillary Fellowship program?

EHF program is always looking for outstanding people who are apt at applying innovate methods and creating positive impact on the entire community as they devise scientific methods to find solutions for social, cultural, environmental and economic problems.
The Edmund Hillary Fellowships are awarded to teams and entrepreneurs who have dedicated themselves to the start-up world. Preference is given to folks who are well-positioned to take advantage of the association, so they can provide a boost to the start of ventures that can influence the world, and New Zealand in particular, in significant ways.
The EHF runs its selection process two times each year and enrols just 100 people annually – the candidates can be from other countries or the pool of New Zealand investors and entrepreneurs.

How do you qualify for a New Zealand Global Impact Visa?

Here is what the INZ will look for to determine your eligibility for the GIV:
  • EHF acceptance letter
  • Documentation to support your Global Impact Work Visa application, such as English language skills, police certificates to prove you have no character issues, medical documents as evidence of zero health issues, and qualification credentials.
  • Savings of at least NZ$ 36,000 to cover the 1st year expenses for yourself and your family accompanying you to New Zealand
Do not delay the filing of your Global Impact Visa application since there is a limit of 400 GIVs per 4 years. Do not get left out. Our immigration experts know how to get you ahead of the race by cutting the Global Impact Visa processing time (which is typically 6 months).

What are the advantages and conditions of the Global Impact Work Visa?

An approved GIV allows you to spend 36 months in New Zealand, and you can:
  • Work for anyone and anywhere in the country – this includes self-employment
  • Study
  • Approach the INZ for permanent New Zealand residence once you have spent 30 months on an Edmund Hillary Fellowship
Here are a few of the conditions the INZ places on your Global Impact Visa; you:
  • Must have EHF support to qualify for residency
  • Cannot add your partner or the children depending on you to your application, though they get their own New Zealand visas based on your relationship
  • Are prohibited from seeking or benefitting from any kind of welfare assistance during your stay
You are working against very stringent timelines – EHF runs its acceptance drive only 2 times annually, and then there is the INZ limit of 400 GIVs in 4 years. Also, you must ensure you stay compliant with all the terms of your Global Impact Work Visa to qualify for permanent residency. Our competent immigration advice covers all these aspects of your GIV and more, and, that too, at astonishingly low fees beyond your imagination.
