New Zealand Active Investor Plus (AIP) Visa
A minimum investment of NZD 5 million and just 21 days in the country over 3 years can unlock a lifetime of freedom and flexibility.
Whether you’re seeking a peaceful second home or dream of building a new future in a safe haven, you and your family are welcome in New Zealand.
