Investor residency assistance

We can help advise you on finding the right investments that meet visa application criteria and fit with your own financial goals.

The New Zealand Government offers investor business migration visas for individuals wanting to gain residence in New Zealand by investing in our economy.

Hamish Kember of Optima Wealth has over seven years’ experience liaising and working with Immigration New Zealand. We can assist with making your application a seamless process. We also work closely with tax specialists for a further level of compliance surety.

There are two categories of investor business migration visas – one for those who plan to invest a minimum of NZ$3 million over four years, or, an option with fewer approval criteria for those investing $NZ10 million or more over three years. There are also criteria in place to further recognise and reward higher levels of business experience, English language skills and growth-oriented investments.

While these visas come with mandatory minimum days spent in the country, this can be reduced by investing in assets other than Bonds and Philanthropic Investment. There are also some restrictions around what is considered an ‘acceptable investment’. We can help advise you on finding the right investments that meet visa application criteria and fit with your own personal financial goals.
