Frequently asked questions
- How long does the Active Investor Plus Visa take to process?
- As at 22 July 2026, Immigration New Zealand reports that 50% of recent Active Investor Plus Visa applications were completed within 6 weeks and 80% within 2 months. Individual applications can take longer, particularly if INZ requests further information.
- Why is my Active Investor Plus Visa application taking longer than the published time?
- The published figures are percentiles of recently decided applications, not a promise. Applications that are incomplete, need verification, or raise health, character or genuineness questions routinely exceed them. If your application is far outside the 80% figure, you can contact INZ or engage a licensed adviser or lawyer to follow up.
Application stuck or complicated?
A licensed adviser or lawyer can review where it is at. Send one enquiry and we will connect you with a licensed professional.
