New Zealand’s Golden Visa - officially known as the Active Investor Plus Visa - opens the door for qualified foreign buyers to own or build one $5m+ property. Here’s what it means for investors, homeowners, and the premium end of the market.
​
​The New Zealand Golden Visa is the name commonly used to refer to the Active Investor Plus Visa - the official residency pathway for high-value investors. This program allows eligible overseas investors to live, invest and, under recent rule changes, purchase or build one property in excess of NZ $5 million.
The New Zealand Golden Visa Explained
The investor-home pathway has created a new route for eligible offshore buyers, but it is a nuanced process for both buyers and sellers. Eligibility is highly property-specific, and a smooth transaction depends on strong preparation well before a home comes to market.
For owners considering a sale, that means early due diligence on land classification, title structure, value evidence so buyers and their advisers can assess the property with confidence. Each home’s eligibility is determined by statute and assessed on a case-by-case basis by Lands Information New Zealand (LINZ) under the Overseas Investment Act (OIA).
Preparing Your Home for Active Investor Plus (AIP) Buyers
Not everything we represent is publicly listed. Many of the most compelling opportunities are transacted quietly, through trusted networks and relationships, long before they reach the open market. By completing the brief below, you allow us to understand your vision in detail - from lifestyle and location through to budget, timing, and long-term intent. From there, we act strategically on your behalf, sourcing and curating opportunities that are precisely aligned, including those not yet available publicly. Our role is to ensure your acquisition is not simply found, but thoughtfully matched - guided, negotiated, and secured with discretion and intent at every stage.
