Default WP question
Hi again

Can anyone tell me that if I had a WP with job offer, am I able to work and also register a business whilst working or am I only allowed to work on WP? Hope that makes sense.

I'm not 100% sure on this, but I believe you would need to apply for a Long Term Business Visa to be able to run a business in NZ if you don't already have PR. I say this because many people have expressed a wish to open a business and, if it was as easy as holding a WP, I'm sure they'd all be doing it. Once you have PR I think you can more or less do what you like.

I agree with PR you cannot do almost anything except voting:)
It should not be a problem setting up a business in NZ. The question is whether you can "work" in your business
