New Zealand Overhauls Investor Visa to Attract Wealthy Migrants

Investors will now only need to stay in New Zealand for 21 days to gain residency under the new changes to the 'Golden Visa', according to Immigration Minister Erica Stanford.

Stanford stated that capital is highly mobile, and New Zealand should encourage investor migrants to choose it as a destination for their capital.
