A high-net-worth investor visa starting at NZD $5M (about USD $3M). Hit the points threshold and you walk out with permanent residency from day one, citizenship in 5 years, and a 4-year foreign income tax exemption that makes this one of the most tax-efficient HNW residency programs globally. Capital gains, wealth tax, and inheritance tax are all zero.
Hit the 6-point threshold and you walk straight into permanent residency — no temporary status in between, family included, citizenship in 5 years, and Australian work and residence rights baked into the NZ passport.
