Parent Retirement

If you have an adult child who is a New Zealand citizen or resident, you can apply to live in New Zealand permanently. You’ll need an annual income of NZ $60,000 plus NZ $1 million to invest for 4 years, and another NZ $500,000 to live on. Once you’ve completed the 4-year investment period, you’ll be eligible for permanent residence.

The objective of the Parent Retirement Category is to provide a residence class visa to those with family links to New Zealand who wish to make a significant contribution to New Zealand’s economy.

• If INZ approves your residence application in principle, you’ll have 12 months to transfer your investment funds to New Zealand.
• If you want to come to New Zealand to investigate investment opportunities, you’ll need to apply for a Work Visa. If your partner wants to come with you, they’ll need to apply for their own Work or Visitor Visa.
