Immigration New Zealand (INZ) figures released to RNZ show the people were given border exemptions to enter the country before being granted residency under investor visas.
That was despite hundreds more hopeful offshore investors - estimated to be worth $2 billion - having their own residency applications held up at the border.
With the country s borders closed to foreigners, Immigration New Zealand (INZ) can only process investor residency visas for those already here.
