You would likely qualify for an E-1 trader visa if you own at least half of your company or at least half of the owners of your company are citizens of New Zealand like you. The E-1 visa will also require your company to carry out “substantial trade” in goods, transportation, or services, including technology, banking, and insurance, between the U.S. and New Zealand. There’s no minimum requirement regarding the value or number of transactions. However, sizeable and frequent international transactions are preferred. If you don’t meet the requirements of the E-1 visa, consider the L-1A visa for an intracompany transferee executive.
