Turn NZD $5M – $10M Into New Zealand Residency
A direct residency-by-investment pathway for global investors and business owners. Two routes, minimal physical presence, and a clear road to calling New Zealand home — managed end-to-end by a Licensed Immigration Adviser.
Choose the pathway that fits your capital
The Active Investor Plus Visa offers two investment categories. Both lead to New Zealand residence — they differ in capital, risk profile, hold period and the time you must spend onshore.
- NZD $5 million held for 36 months (3 years)
- Invested in managed funds & direct NZ businesses
- Only 21 days in New Zealand over 3 years
- Up to 20% to philanthropy (from 1 June 2026)
- Ideal for active, growth-focused investors
- NZD $10 million held for 60 months (5 years)
- Wider mix incl. bonds & new property developments
- 105 days in New Zealand over 5 years
- Choose lower-risk, diversified assets
- Ideal for capital-preservation investors
