New Zealand is enhancing its investment landscape with significant updates to the Active Investor Plus Visa, making it easier and more appealing for investors to contribute to the country’s economic growth. These changes, effective from 1 April 2025, streamline the investment process and broaden investment opportunities.
These updates aim to attract high-value investment, simplify visa requirements, and incentivize active participation in New Zealand’s economy. By lowering barriers and broadening investment options, the government seeks to foster long-term engagement from investors while maintaining a strong and secure economic environment.
Feedback from investors and industry stakeholders has been instrumental in shaping these changes, ensuring they meet market needs and encourage lower-risk investments that remain appealing to international investors.
Investors can continue to apply for the Active Investor Plus Visa using the existing online application form, which will be updated to reflect the new policy changes. More detailed guidance will be available in early March 2025.
