The AIP visa allows experienced investors to gain New Zealand residency through qualifying investments. It requires a minimum investment ranging from NZD $5 million to $10 million, depending on the chosen investment category.
Our services include:
Pre-assessment review – confirming eligibility, identifying risks (e.g. source of funds), and providing a roadmap for the visa process.
Eligibility advice – covering investment thresholds, timeframes for transfer and investment, and acceptable investment categories.
Investment documentation review – checking consistency with Immigration New Zealand requirements.
Supporting documents – preparing source of funds/wealth evidence, investment allocation documents, and compliance records.
Application management – preparing and lodging the AIP visa application, liaising with Immigration New Zealand, and responding to requests for further information.
We help you structure your investment and application to meet Immigration New Zealand’s requirements and give your application the best chance of approval.

The new Business Investor Visa is designed for investors who want to actively establish or grow businesses in New Zealand. It requires a minimum investment of NZD $1 million to $2 million, depending on whether you choose the 3-year pathway or the 12-month fast-track option. This pathway combines business establishment with investment migration and offers flexibility for high-value investors and entrepreneurs.
