Reclusive Google billionaire Larry Page applied for a $10million investor visa three months before he came to New Zealand on a medevac flight, Stuff can reveal.

Immigration NZ told Stuff on Friday afternoon that Page, the co-founder of Google and the sixth-richest man in the world, applied for residence under the “Investor Plus” category on November 3.

On January 11, the government received an application for Page’s child to be medevaced from Fiji to New Zealand for medical treatment. The Page family has been spending the Covid-19 pandemic in Fiji.
