Overseas Investment Act

We provide expert legal advice on the Overseas Investment Act, supporting overseas investors, businesses, and property owners across Waikato and New Zealand to navigate the complexities of foreign investment regulations. Our team is experienced in guiding clients through the Overseas Investment Office (OIO) consent process, ensuring compliance with the latest legislative requirements and protecting your interests in sensitive transactions.

The Overseas Investment Act 2005 regulates investments by overseas persons in sensitive New Zealand assets, including significant business assets, sensitive land, and fishing quota. We assist clients with preparing and submitting OIO applications, advising on eligibility, compliance, and the implications of proposed investments. We can also advise whether you are eligible for the fast-track consent pathway for a low-risk investment.
