(Temporary entry only)

In brief, this is a type of temporary retirement option for applicants wishing to enjoy temporary retirement in New Zealand. Applicants must:

  • Be aged 66 or over
  • Hold comprehensive health insurance for the duration of their stay
  • Invest at least NZ$0.75 million in New Zealand for a period of two years
  • Nominate NZ$0.5 million for maintenance funds
  • Show an annual income of NZ$60,000.00 a year

Successful applicants will be issued with a two-year multiple entry visitor’s visa that allows for travel in and out of New Zealand.

The Temporary Retirement Category is a special visitors policy designed for those who wish to invest in New Zealand and stay here longer than general visitor policy allows.
