    Your Trusted Partner for
    NZ's Active Investor Plus Visa
    Journey

    Applying under New Zealand's Active Investor Plus Visa programme involves much more than completing an immigration application. It requires coordinating investment providers, government agencies, licensed immigration advisers, legal professionals, banks and other specialists. New Zealand Life Investment Partners works exclusively for you—providing independent project management and concierge services to help manage every stage of your investment and residency journey with confidence. Whatever you need, NZLIP can help.

    Managing Your New Zealand Active Investor Plus Journey

    We Work for You.

    Unlike many organisations involved in the Active Investor Plus programme, NZLIP is not focused on selling a managed fund, providing legal services or preparing immigration applications. Our role is different. We represent your interests, coordinate the entire process and help ensure your investment and residency journey is managed professionally from beginning to end.

    Securing residency is only part of the journey.

    Most high-net-worth investors and families quickly discover they are expected to coordinate multiple advisers, lawyers, immigration specialists, fund managers, banks, accountants, property consultants, relocation providers and government agencies.

    That process can be time-consuming, frustrating and unnecessarily complex.

    Manage government applications
