Frequently Asked Questions

World Visa Academy's New Zealand Active Investor Plus Visa Training Course covers the AIP residence framework, Growth and Balanced categories, acceptable investments, investor profiling, lawful source of funds, financial documentation, transfer of investment funds, approval in principle, family provisions, investment monitoring and permanent-residence considerations. The course focuses on practical investor case assessment so professionals can build a structured workflow for handling New Zealand investment-migration cases.

Applicants must meet the applicable investor, health and character requirements and commit qualifying funds to acceptable New Zealand investments. The current programme has a Growth category and a Balanced category, each with its own investment threshold, acceptable investment types and investment period. Applicants must also demonstrate that their funds were earned or acquired lawfully and satisfy the applicable transfer and evidence requirements.

Common evidence includes identity documents, health and character documents, details of nominated funds and assets, earnings and source-of-funds information, ownership records and evidence supporting the lawful acquisition of the investment capital. Additional evidence may be required depending on how the funds were earned, borrowed, gifted or transferred. World Visa Academy teaches consultants how to organise and cross-check the financial trail.

Applicants select the applicable Growth or Balanced category and nominate their investment funds and assets. If the application is approved in principle, the applicant has a defined period to transfer and invest the nominated funds in acceptable New Zealand investments. The applicant must then maintain the required investment and meet applicable residence conditions. World Visa Academy covers the workflow from application through investment monitoring.

The course is suitable for immigration consultants, investment-migration advisers, visa filing professionals, financial and business advisers and professionals working with high-net-worth international clients. World Visa Academy provides structured training in investor profiling, category assessment, source-of-funds documentation, acceptable investments, application preparation and post-grant compliance, helping learners develop practical New Zealand investor-visa expertise.
