Foreign Investing in New Zealand

1. • A Pathway to Residency with Mana Tupu Capital

   New Zealand has long been a magnet for global investors seeking stability, innovation, and lifestyle. With recent updates to its Active Investor Plus Visa, the country has made it even more attractive for high-net-worth individuals to invest and gain residency.

   Mana Tupu Capital is making this opportunity more compelling than ever.

   What’s New in the Investor Visa Landscape?

   Effective 1 April 2025, Immigration New Zealand introduced major reforms to the Active Investor Plus Visa, designed to simplify the process and attract high-value investors:

   Two Investment Categories:

   • • Growth Category: NZD $5 million over 3 years in direct, higher-risk investments.
     • Balanced Category: NZD $15 million over 5 years in mixed assets including bonds and property.
     •  

   Expanded Investment Options:

   • • • Property investments now include new residential developments and commercial/industrial projects that add value.

   Reduced Residency Requirements:

   • • Investors in the Growth category must spend just 21 days in New Zealand over the investment term.
     • Balanced category investors must spend 105 days, with reductions available for higher investment amounts.

   Streamlined Process:

   • • No English language requirement.
     • All investments must be made within 6 months of visa approval (with a possible extension).

   These changes reflect New Zealand’s commitment to attracting capital that drives innovation, housing, and business growth.
