Investors will only have to remain in New Zealand for 21 days over three years to gain residency under changes to the so-called 'golden visa' to attract wealthy investors to New Zealand, Immigration Minister Erica Stanford says.

From 1 April, the Active Investor Plus visa will be replaced with two, simplified investment categories.

The first, the 'Growth' category, will focus on higher-risk investments, including direct investments in New Zealand businesses.

It will require a minimum investment of $5 million for a minimum period of three years.

The second, the 'Balanced' category, will focus on mixed investments, with the ability to choose ones that are lower risk.

There will be a minimum investment of $10 million over five years.

So here is what I get from this.

  1. Create a business in the growth category. This is pretty easy, just take lemmy code and create a social media site. Super high risk.
  2. Contact somebody overseas and tell them you'll accept 5 million dollars in investment for this business. Once they invest they can become citizens.

3 .....

  1. Profit!
