flag New Zealand streamlined overseas investment rules, cutting approval times to under 15 days and boosting foreign investment.

flag New Zealand has implemented new overseas investment rules streamlining approvals under the Overseas Investment Act, reducing processing times to under 15 working days—targeting five—with a two-speed system separating low-risk from higher-risk investments. flag The changes follow a 60% drop in processing time since the government took office and aim to attract billions in foreign capital, technology, and expertise. flag The Active Investor Plus visa program has seen a surge in applications, with 589 high-value investors expected to bring nearly $3.5 billion, including purchases of homes over $5 million. flag Officials say the reforms boost economic growth, job creation, and innovation while maintaining safeguards for sensitive assets like farmland and residential land.
