Strategic residency through investment in a shifting global landscape
New Zealand offers a permanent resident visa, valid for life, through structured investment under the Active Investor Plus category. For investors considering long-term security, family protection, and capital positioning, we invite you to speak with our specialist Investor Visa team.
Why New Zealand is attracting investor attention
Across a number of established markets, residency-by-investment programmes have tightened or withdrawn. In contrast, New Zealand refined its Active Investor pathway in 2025 to strengthen its competitiveness and attract long-term capital.
- The English language requirement was removed.
- New portfolio categories introduced to align with different investment levels.
- Residential property purchase for approved investor visa holders now permitted.

A competitive tax framework with no capital gains or inheritance tax, plus the right to purchase residential property from early 2026.

Securing Your
Residency Pathway
The Active Investor Plus category is not a transactional visa product. It is a structured immigration and investment decision that requires strategic planning, regulatory precision, and long-term thinking. New Zealand Immigration Partners works closely with investors, legal advisors, and financial professionals to ensure:
- Your investment is fully aligned with the criteria.
- Absolute clarity on compliance and risk mitigation.
- The process is handled with total efficiency and discretion.
This is suited to investors who:
- Meet the capital thresholds of NZ$ 5 or 10 million.
- Are considering residency of another country.
- Value clear, strategic advice and absolute privacy.
- Seek a permanent resident status that is valid for life.
If this reflects your current position, we invite you to request a confidential consultation to discuss your suitability, objectives, and timeline.
What the consultation covers
- An overview of current requirements and timelines.
- Analysis of eligibility and family inclusion.
- A confidential assessment of your suitability for the programme.
Duration: 30 to 45 minutes | Strictly confidential.
