As high-value immigration gains momentum following U.S. President Donald Trump’s recently announced US 'Gold Card' visa, Greener Pastures New Zealand has seen a surge in inquiries from investors, entrepreneurs, and high-net-worth individuals seeking premium residency in New Zealand.
The golden visa industry continues to grow steadily each year with New Zealand emerging as a leader in premium investor residency solutions through its Active Investor Plus (AIP) Visa program. Unlike passive property-based investments, the AIP Visa prioritizes long-term economic contributions, directing capital toward local businesses, innovation, and job creation.
“With global mobility becoming more important than ever, we’re seeing increased demand from HNW individuals seeking a ‘Plan B’ for their families with a secure, business-friendly environment with long-term benefits,” said Dominic Jones, Managing Director of Greener Pastures New Zealand. “New Zealand’s Active Investor Plus Visa is proving to be a top choice for high-net-worth individuals looking for our lifestyle, stability, opportunity, and a pathway to a thriving future.”
New Zealand’s Active Investor Plus Visa offers an attractive residency pathway for investors who commit a minimum investment of USD 2.8 million, with opportunities to invest in direct assets, managed funds, or listed equities. Unlike other residency programs that have faced criticism for inflating real estate markets, New Zealand’s AIP Visa focuses on investments that actively contribute to the country’s economy, ensuring that capital is directed towards sustainable business growth rather than speculative property purchases.
“As world governments now recognize the immense value of high-net-worth immigration, New Zealand has been ahead of the curve, offering a structured and reliable residency program that was recently enhanced to be more welcoming,” added Jones. “We expect continued growth in this sector as more individuals seek out premium investor residency options in New Zealand.”
As high-value immigration programs catering to HNWI and UHNWI gain worldwide attention, Greener Pastures New Zealand remains at the forefront, assisting clients in navigating this exclusive opportunity while reinforcing New Zealand’s status as a premier destination for global investors.
“We had a highly successful trip to New York and are already back in the US again to continue key conversations and expand our network.”
