What is the Active Investor Visa?
The Active Investor Visa gives qualified investors and their families the chance to live, work, and study in New Zealand. They must agree to invest a set amount over a specific time. This visa differs from passive investment plans. It requires investors to play an active part in managing their investment. This could mean direct involvement in a business or other qualifying activities.
The current option in this category is the Active Investor Plus Visa. This visa has an impact on high-net-worth individuals who want to contribute to New Zealand’s economy. It requires an investment of at least NZD $10 million over three years. This amount is one of the highest among New Zealand’s investor visa choices.
Why Choose the Active Investor Visa?
New Zealand boasts a top-notch life quality great schools and healthcare, and a rock-solid economy, which makes investors flock to it. The Active Investor Visa doesn’t just pave the way to permanent residency; it also lets you and your loved ones enjoy these perks.
This visa allows investors to:
- Call New Zealand home with their family.
- Choose any job or study program.
- Come and go from New Zealand as they please.
- Seek permanent residence down the line after meeting investment and stay requirements.
Investment Rules and Steps
To get the Active Investor Plus Visa, you need to invest at least NZD $10 million over three years. You must put this money into investments that Immigration New Zealand approves such as:
- Stocks in Kiwi companies.
- Funds run by licensed Kiwi investment managers.
- Other approved money-related tools.
You need to stay on top of your investments or business in New Zealand during the whole investment time. This visa aims to get you involved and contributing to New Zealand’s economy, not just putting money in.
To apply, you’ll need to send in an Expression of Interest (EOI), show you’re healthy and of good character, and prove you have the money and investment plans.
