More than 200 foreign investors are expected to travel to New Zealand in the next year under a new visa exemption

The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment expects they'll bring in investment and technology expertise into the country.

NZTE's general manager of investment, Dylan Laurence, says investor interest in New Zealand has never been higher - especially given the way New Zealand has managed the pandemic.

He told reporter Amy Williams those interested in investing want to be here to make hands-on decisions.
