We’ve been closely following the government’s changes to New Zealand’s Active Investor Plus visa in our recent articles. The scheme, often referred to as New Zealand’s “golden visa” has continued to attract international attention.

This week, The Guardian reported on the surge of applications from the United States, China, and Hong Kong since the reforms took effect. Our managing director, Marcus Beveridge, was featured in the article, sharing his perspective on what these changes mean for investors and for New Zealand’s immigration landscape.
