Google co-founder Larry Page has gained New Zealand residency, officials confirm, stoking debate over whether extremely wealthy people can essentially buy access to the South Pacific country.
Page's residency application was approved about three weeks later.
Still, the agency on its website touts the “Investor Plus” visa as offering a “New Zealand lifestyle,” adding that “you may be able to bring your car, boat and household items to New Zealand, free of customs charges.”Google did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Opposition lawmakers said the episode raised questions about why Page was approved so quickly at a time when many skilled workers or separated family members who were desperate to enter New Zealand were being turned away.
