The Active Investor Plus Visa is a program created by Immigration New Zealand for experienced, high-value investors who want to contribute to the growth of New Zealand’s economy.
This visa requires eligible applicants to invest NZD 15 million over three years in one or more approved investments such as business, research and development, innovation or property. It also requires that at least 25 per cent of these investments be invested within 12 months of approval.
The benefits of applying for an Active Investor Plus Visa include gaining permanent residence in New Zealand and having access to world-class educational institutions and a wide range of lifestyle opportunities. Additionally, applicants will gain access to various financial services, such as banking and investment advice, allowing them to make sound investment decisions. Furthermore, they will have access to talented staff who can provide guidance on business management and other areas related to their investments.
The Active Investor Plus visa offers four different investment options and provides greater flexibility by allowing investors to invest across a combination.
Listed equities and philanthropy are capped at a maximum investment of 50% of the total NZ$15m requirement. For example, an investor could meet the required investment amount by investing NZ$7.5m into listed equities and NZ$7.5m into eligible philanthropic causes.
You can apply for permanent residence after four years of keeping your funds in New Zealand.
