Frequently Asked Questions

  • The Active Investor Plus Visa is designed for experienced global investors who want to gain permanent residency in New Zealand by making a significant financial investment. This includes individuals, family offices, and entrepreneurs seeking geographic or portfolio diversification.

  • No - while you are required to spend at least 117 days in New Zealand over a four-year period, you are not expected to relocate full-time. This makes the visa ideal for those who want flexibility while securing long-term residency.

  • The Active Investor Plus Visa requires a minimum investment of NZD $5 million or NZD $10 million, depending on the pathway you choose. The Growth Category requires NZD $5M over three years with 21 days spent in New Zealand, while the Balanced Category requires NZD $10M over five years and a 49-day presence.
    For context, this equates to approximately USD $2.8M–$5.7M, though the visa requirements are officially based in NZD.
