Frequently Asked Questions
What investments qualify for the AIP visa?
Growth category investments include venture capital, private equity, growth companies, and NZTE-listed managed funds investing in NZ businesses. The Balanced category also accepts listed equities, bonds and qualifying property developments. Bank deposits and residential property for personal use don't qualify in either category. Each fund should confirm AIP eligibility in their disclosure documents.
How much do I need to invest for the AIP visa?
The Growth category requires NZ$5M invested in acceptable growth investments for 36 months (3 years). The Balanced category requires NZ$10M across a wider pool — which can include listed equities, bonds and qualifying property developments — held for 60 months (5 years). Both must meet Immigration NZ's acceptable investment criteria.
Can I invest through multiple funds?
Yes, you can build a diversified portfolio across multiple qualifying funds. Some investors choose to spread investments across different managers and strategies while meeting the total investment threshold. Consult with an immigration advisor and licensed financial advisor for guidance on your specific situation.
