Interest in New Zealand from international buyers continues to build, and recent policy changes are making it easier for global investors to establish a base here.

Under updates to the Active Investor Plus visa programme, qualifying investor migrants are now able to apply to purchase one residential property valued above NZ$5 million once residency is secured.

The visa itself is relatively straightforward:

• Growth category: NZ$5 million invested over three years
• Balanced category: NZ$10 million invested over five years
• Investments are directed into New Zealand businesses and approved assets that support economic growth

Once residency is approved, investors can seek Overseas Investment Office consent to purchase a qualifying home.

The process has recently been streamlined, with applications now expected to move through in a matter of weeks rather than months.

With just 16 freehold residences, a park-side position in Parnell, and a level of design, materials and construction rarely seen in apartment buildings, Elysian sits squarely in the category of homes many investor migrants are seeking. Private, permanent and built to last.

We are already seeing increased enquiry from the United States and Europe as buyers begin exploring this pathway.

If you are considering the Active Investor Plus route and would like to understand how an apartment at Elysian could form part of your move to New Zealand, we invite you to speak directly with the Elysian development team.
