New Zealand is actively seeking out foreign investors to relocate to and invest in the country with its Active Investor Plus Visa - the Golden Visa. The visa is the first step to permanent residence and NZ citizenship. NZ recognizes dual nationality.
New Zealand's Golden Visa program is structured to attract high net worth individuals and families to relocate to this stable, safe and civil South Pacific island nation. The Active Investor Plus Visa has two categories - Growth and Balanced and requires an investment of NZ$ 5 million and NZ$ 10 million respectively. And home purchase for properties valued at NZ$ 5 million are also permitted.
