    If Immigration New Zealand (INZ) approves your application for an investor visa, you will have 12 months to transfer your funds to New Zealand and invest in an acceptable investment. The acceptable investments must be able to make a commercial return, have the potential to contribute to New Zealand's economy. Investments can also be in bonds, equities, property or other investments. Philanthropic investments can make up 15% of your acceptable investments. Therefore, you need to establish to INZ that your investments meet their requirements.
