More money could soon circulate through the economy as the Government opens up the country to more overseas businesspeople.   

Under its new Business Investor Visa, foreign investors who put at least $2 million into a Kiwi business will be granted a 12-month fast-track to residence pathway. 

People who invest $1 million will be given a three-year work-to-residence option.

He says when it starts going towards business owners, it'll be recycled back into our economy.
