Bangladeshi nationals can apply for the New Zealand Active Investor Plus visa, a residence route for qualifying investors. This page explains the two categories, the holding periods and where to confirm the binding rules.
Information, not advice. Figures are indicative and current as of June 2026. Always confirm the present rules with the official program authority and a licensed professional before you act.
Immigration New Zealand does not exclude Bangladeshi nationals from the Active Investor Plus visa. Applicants must meet health and character requirements, including medical checks and police certificates.
You must also invest qualifying funds for the required period. Confirm your personal position with the official authority.
The visa has two categories. The Growth category has the lower minimum and a shorter holding period, with a requirement to spend time in New Zealand across the investment period. The Balanced category has a higher minimum and a longer holding period. Each category accepts its own range of acceptable investments.
Your funds must stay in acceptable investments for the required period, 36 months for the Growth category and 60 months for the Balanced category. Monitoring questionnaires apply during and at the end of the period. Confirm current processing times with Immigration New Zealand.
The table below sets out the main figures. Government and professional fees sit on top of the investment.
| Item | Indicative amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Growth category | From NZD 5 million | Held for at least 36 months; at least 21 days in New Zealand across the period |
| Balanced category | From NZD 10 million | Held for at least 60 months |
| Government and professional fees | Confirm the current figure with the official authority | Vary by case |
