Visas to Invest in New Zealand

Your Investments Can Give Happy Dividends: Secure Your Future in NZ

New Zealand is an elite destination for global investors and entrepreneurs seeking a stable, secure, and family-friendly environment. Whether you are looking to invest in established New Zealand businesses or launch a high-growth start-up, the current immigration settings offer clear, fast-track pathways to residency. We provide the technical expertise to navigate these high-stakes applications and ensure your capital works as hard for your visa as it does for your portfolio.

Active Investor Plus Visa

The Active Investor Plus Visa is New Zealand’s premier residency pathway, designed for high-net-worth individuals who want a direct route to permanent residence. Under the new 2025 rules, you can choose between the Growth Category, requiring a NZD $5 million investment in high-impact areas like venture capital or direct equity, or the Balanced Category, which requires NZD $10 million but allows for a more diversified portfolio including bonds and commercial property.

This visa is unique because it removes traditional hurdles like age limits and English language requirements, focusing instead on the economic benefit of your investment. Depending on your chosen category, you are only required to spend between 21 and 105 days in the country over a three-to-five-year period. This flexibility makes it the ideal choice for global citizens who need to maintain international business interests while securing a “Plan B” or permanent home in New Zealand.
Business Investor Work Visa

Launched in November 2025 to replace the older Entrepreneur category, the Business Investor Work Visa is for experienced business people who want to purchase and actively run an established New Zealand business. You can choose a NZD $1 million investment for a standard three-year pathway to residence, or a NZD $2 million investment to access a fast-track residency option after just 12 months of operation.

To qualify, the business must have been operating for at least five years and employ at least five full-time staff members. This visa is perfect for “hands-on” investors aged 55 or under who want to contribute their global expertise to the local economy. We help you with the mandatory business plan and ensure your investment meets the “active management” criteria required by Immigration New Zealand to transition from a work visa to a resident visa.
Global Impact Visa (GIV)

INZ has partnered with the Edmund Hillary Fellowship (EHF) to offer the GIV. GIV is to attract talented start-up groups, entrepreneurs, visionaries and investors who have the potential to create a long-term positive impact not only on New Zealand but on the entire world.

GIV is an excellent opportunity for you to gain permanent residency while establishing innovative ventures in the country. However, you are running against a quota, and you have to satisfy both EHF and INZ throughout the process. You do not want to stumble. Let Professional Visa Solutions guide you through your Global Impact Visa journey.
