The NZ Investor 1 and Investor 2 visas are no longer available for application. We are excited to introduce the new Active Investor Plus Visa, which offers a streamlined and flexible pathway for investing in New Zealand.
 
Upon meeting the requirements for the investment period the applicant can obtain permanent residence which has no further requirements or stay obligations (permanent residence in New Zealand is for life). The application can include dependent children up to and including age 24.


Active Investor Plus Visa

Benefits
The Active Investor Plus is a residence visa. This entitles the applicant and their family (spouse and dependent children up to 24 years of age) to benefits such as healthcare, education subsidies, and other perks normally available to New Zealand residents. After the 48-month investment period, applicants can obtain permanent residence (for life with no further requirements), or citizenship after 5 years.
