Americans Flood New Zealand’s Golden Visa | Los Angeles News

New Zealand’s golden visa program is exploding, especially with Americans flooding in—over 700 wealthy applicants in just 14 months, with U.S. nationals making up a third since April 2025. The Kiwi government loosened rules, slashing English language requirements and cutting residency time, while lowering investment thresholds from $15M to $5M (growth) or $10M (balanced). Investors can now spend less time in-country if they pour more cash in, making it a magnet for high-net-worth folks, particularly from California, seeking a new home.
