What the New Zealand investor route offers
The Active Investor Plus Visa is New Zealand's investor-residency programme — and New Zealand is the country we know better than any other. Here is why families consider it.
Residence in New Zealand
A clear, government-run pathway to New Zealand residence for the main applicant, partner and dependent children through qualifying investment.
Weighted investment options
Investments are weighted by type — direct investments into New Zealand businesses generally count more favourably than managed funds. We explain the current categories and weightings in writing.
A safe, stable home base
Strong rule of law, world-class schooling and healthcare, clean environment and an unhurried lifestyle — a considered base for families thinking long term.
The whole family included
Your partner and dependent children are included in the application, so the family secures residence together.
An onward path
Maintained over the required period, the route can lead toward permanent residence. We set out the honest timeline and conditions — never as a promise.
Deep New Zealand expertise
New Zealand has been our specialty for years. We understand Immigration New Zealand's expectations and the investor settings more thoroughly than most.
Requirements and what to expect
The Active Investor Plus Visa has specific qualifying criteria set by Immigration New Zealand that are reviewed periodically. We confirm the current official settings in writing before you commit.
Qualifying weighted investment
A minimum qualifying investment, calculated using Immigration New Zealand's weighting system, held in acceptable investments for the required period. We confirm the current threshold and accepted categories in writing — never historic figures as guarantees.
Acceptable investment categories
Direct business investment, managed funds and other approved categories carry different weightings. We map which mix genuinely fits your goals, risk appetite and budget.
Documented source of funds
A legitimate, well-documented source of funds is essential. We build the complete trail carefully, and capital moves only through official, compliant channels.
Presence, English, health & character
A limited physical-presence requirement applies over the investment period, alongside standard health, character and (where relevant) English requirements. We set all of these out clearly at the start.
A discreet, managed process from first call to residence
A careful, unhurried process with a single senior advisor as your point of contact — from the first conversation through to your residence and beyond.
Confidential consultation
A private conversation about your goals — a secure base for the family, your children's education or longer-term settlement — and your investment budget. Nothing is committed at this stage.
Route & investment review
We confirm the current Active Investor Plus settings, the weighting of each investment category and honest timeline ranges in a written proposal, including all government and professional fees.
Source-of-funds & Expression of Interest
We build a clean, fully documented source-of-funds file and prepare your Expression of Interest and supporting evidence to Immigration New Zealand's standard.
Invest & transfer funds
Once invited, you place and transfer the qualifying investment into acceptable investments through official, compliant channels within the required timeframe.
Decision, residence & onward path
On approval, we support your residence, the presence and reporting obligations through the investment period, and advise on the path toward permanent residence when the time comes.
Official settings only, capital protected
Investor migration attracts intermediaries who quote outdated thresholds, overstate weightings or steer capital toward unverified products. We work the opposite way. Every figure we give you reflects the current, official Immigration New Zealand settings, confirmed in writing before you commit a single rupee. Investments are placed only into acceptable, compliant categories, through official channels you can trace.
Because New Zealand is our home turf, we can be genuinely honest about whether this route fits you — and tell you plainly if a different country or pathway would serve your family better. A written quotation covering investment, government and professional fees is issued upfront, and everything about your identity, wealth and intentions is handled in complete confidence.

- Documented source of funds prepared to Immigration New Zealand's standard
- Written quotation upfront: investment, government and professional fees itemised
