New Zealand will relax visa rules to attract more foreign investors, in efforts to stimulate economic growth, its centre-right government said on Sunday.

New Zealand is improving its investor visa to attract capital while also promoting a better life for investors and their families.

New Zealand is easing its investor visa rules to attract more wealthy individuals, dropping English language requirements and reducing the minimum residency period. Applicants can now qualify for residency by investing over $2 million in local businesses and spending twenty-one days in the country over three years.

New Zealand is revamping its investor visa policies, aiming to attract global investment by introducing simpler and more flexible visa categories for mixed and high-risk investments. This move is expected to drive economic growth,

New Zealand is simplifying its so-called “golden visa” program, including removing an English language requirement, to attract wealthy immigrants and help spark an economic recovery.

Active Investor Plus is New Zealand's Golden Visa. The Golden Visa is a special visa program offered to foreigners making investments above a certain amount. Investors can receive a visa or permanent residency in return for contributing to the country's economy, typically investing in real estate, corporations, bonds, or stocks.

The changes, to take effect from April 1, follow the government’s recent relaxation of visa rules allowing holidaymakers to work remotely while visiting the country, aimed at boosting its tourism sector. The new conditions allow visitors to work from New Zealand for an employer or client that is in another country.
