An immigration director is slamming the Government after revelations only one person has been approved for the specialist investor visa.
The policy launched last September, hoping to bring investors to the country, to boost post-pandemic economic prosperity.
Newshub reports the person already lived in New Zealand.

He says investments were already being made outside of the visa, creating jobs, and getting money to flow into the country.
