The 60-second version
Tokelau has no listed exchange — expats close bank custody or offshore fund folios, wire NZD to NRE, and disclose in Schedule FA.
No local exchange — Nukunonu custody at ANZ Tokelau or offshore broker
Tokelau does not operate a listed exchange — investment accounts are bank custody or offshore NZD fund folios.
Redeem holdings and obtain custody termination before closing linked NZD bank account.
