Investment Migration
New Zealand's flagship investment migration program - a premium pathway to residency for high-net-worth individuals.
The Active Investor Plus Visa is New Zealand's flagship investment migration program, providing a pathway to permanent residency for high-net-worth individuals who invest in New Zealand's economy.
The program offers two investment categories - Growth and Balanced - each with different investment thresholds, eligible investment types, and presence requirements.
Symphony Centre, Auckland - our featured NZ project - qualifies under the Balanced Category as a new residential and commercial property development.
Partner and dependent children aged 24 and under are included in the main application with full rights to live, work and study in New Zealand.
Suitable for investors focused on direct NZ business investments and managed funds.
Broader eligible investments including property developments - Symphony Centre qualifies.
Clients investing additional Growth funds can reduce required NZ presence days - ideal for globally mobile high-net-worth individuals.
