Greener Pastures offers both a fully integrated service and the flexibility to engage with individual components of your New Zealand journey. Whether you require immigration advice, approved investments, lifestyle planning, or a complete end-to-end solution, our services can be tailored to your specific needs and objectives.
For clients seeking a seamless experience, our team can manage every stage of the AIP visa journey, from immigration planning and visa application, investment selection from our approved funds, compliance monitoring, and ongoing fund management. By bringing immigration advice, approved investments and lifestyle planning together under one roof, we provide a coordinated approach that simplifies what can otherwise be a complex and fragmented process.
Alongside the AIP visa process, we help clients plan what their relationship with New Zealand could look like in reality. Whether you are considering a full relocation, establishing a second home base, maintaining dual residency, or simply spending more time in New Zealand, we provide practical guidance and local insight to help you make informed decisions with confidence.
The result is a highly personalised service that supports not only your residency application and AIP investment requirements, but also the broader lifestyle, family and long-term planning considerations that often sit behind the decision to secure New Zealand residency.

How we work
The Greener Pastures Process
We begin with a complimentary, no-obligation conversation to get to know you, and understand you/your family circumstances, investment objectives, and long-term aspirations. From there, we develop a personalised plan to help you achieve your New Zealand residency goals.
2. AIP Visa Application
Your immigration pathway is overseen by Neil, our in-house Licensed Immigration Adviser, who prepares, submits, and manages your application – including all eligible family members. Neil provides expert guidance, liaises directly with Immigration NZ on your behalf, and works closely with our investment and lifestyle specialists to ensure a compliant and seamless process.
3. Approval in Principle
Once approved, our team guides you through the next steps, including establishing your New Zealand banking arrangements so you can transfer your nominated funds within the 6-month transfer window.
4. Investment Period
We facilitate your investment into our qualifying fund(s), enabling your conditional Resident Visa to be issued. The 36-month investment period begins, and visa holders are free to live, work, or study in New Zealand. We facilitate investment compliance check-ins at 24 and 36 months to ensure ongoing compliance.
5. Permanent Residency
At the end of the investment period, Neil liaises with Immigration New Zealand that all visa conditions have been met. At this stage you are eligible for permanent residency. Our team continues to manage your investments and can advise on liquidity options, where appropriate.
