The new Active Investor Plus visa for New Zealand comes into effect on 01 April 2025, and is expected to be processed within 7 months with simplified requirements. Successful applicants will have 6 months to transfer funds and can apply for a further 6-month extension. You will be required to spend at least 117 days in New Zealand as a holder of a resident visa during the 4 years of the investment period.
