NEW ZEALAND CITIZENSHIP PROGRAM FOR INVESTORS

What is New Zealand Residence by Investment?

Different from other countries, New Zealand citizenship by investment is actually not possible to obtain. There are, however, residence permit programs in the country for foreigners who invest from 3 million New Zealand dollars in the country’s economy. In recent years, NZ immigration authorities have increased the number of foreigners who possess New Zealand citizenship. Once you have fulfilled the conditions specified by law, you will receive the right to live and work in New Zealand.

What kinds of visas are there in the New Zealand Investment Program?

New Zealand offers a variety of residence visas that allow investors or their family members to visit and work in the country. 

There are two types of investor visas: Investor 1 and Investor 2. These programs will help you acquire a residence permit, which enables you to live, work, and study in New Zealand. Applications under these programs can include your spouse and dependent children aged 24 years or younger.

If you want to emigrate to New Zealand via an investor business migration visa and you fit within one of the two investor visa categories, we recommend that you join our Investor and Business Migration Free Consultant. Leave us a message to get consultants from experts.

Am I eligible for citizenship by investment program?

You are eligible to come to New Zealand if you are:

• a NZ citizen
• a NZ permanent resident or resident visa holder
• an Australian citizen or permanent residence visa holder where NZ is your primary place of residence
• a partner or dependent child of an NZ citizen or resident and hold a visa based on your relationship
• an individual with border exceptions or a critical purpose reason to travel (you will need a Critical Purpose Visitor Visa)
• you are a critical and skilled worker – from 21 March
• you are a fully vaccinated traveller from a visa-waiver country – from 1 May
• a New Zealand visa holder, including visitor and student visa – this date has just been brought forward from October to the end of July 2022.

However, if you’re an investor who wants to live and work in New Zealand as a resident, you will need more and that. To know all about regulations, application process, required documents, and more leave your contact here or book free consultants with M&L Migration experts.
