Is this New Zealand’s “golden visa”?

Colloquially some people say that, but the official pathway is the Active Investor Plus visa.

What is the minimum investment?

Thresholds differ by category (Growth vs. Balanced) and must be invested in eligible assets for a set period.

Do I have to live full-time in New Zealand?

No—there is a minimum physical presence requirement across the investment term.

Can property or philanthropy qualify?

Some forms may qualify under specific conditions; professional guidance is essential.

How long does the process take?

Expect a multi-stage process (assessment, approval in principle, investments, presence)—timelines vary by case.
