The New Zealand Active Investor Plus Visa program, introduced by the New Zealand government in 2022, aims to stimulate the New Zealand economy through capital investment from foreign investors. The original plan required applicants to have NZD $15 million in available assets.
On April 1, 2025, New Zealand implemented significant reforms, introducing two simplified investment categories: the Growth Category (minimum NZD $5 million within three years) and the Balanced Category (minimum NZD $10 million within five years). These reforms expanded investment options, eliminated the English language requirement, and reduced residency obligations to attract a wider range of high-value investors while maintaining economic growth objectives.
Advantages:
1. Applicants must be 18 years or older. Spouses and unmarried children under 24 years old can be included in the application.)
2. Short processing time.
3. No English language requirement.
4. Very low residency requirements.
5. No business or senior management experience required.
6. Simple process, requiring only an investment of NZD $5 million or NZD $10 million into New Zealand enterprises or approved managed funds, bonds, listed equities, new build residential property developments, existing commercial or industrial property developments, or philanthropic donations.
