新西兰将允许投资移民在AIP增长类别中，用最多20%的投资额做慈善捐赠，同时继续强调核心资金必须用于经济增长型投资。
AIP签证增长类别将扩展至慈善捐赠
移民部长 Erica Stanford 表示，使用“主动投资者Plus（Active Investor Plus, AIP）签证”增长类别（Growth category）的投资移民，将很快可以在其对新西兰的整体投资中加入慈善捐赠部分。
从2026年6月1日起，增长类别申请人可将其总投资额中的最多20%用于慈善捐赠，其余资金仍需投入高增长型投资资产。
Stanford表示：
“主动投资者Plus签证旨在吸引能够为新西兰经济和社区做出重要贡献的经验丰富投资者。”
“增长类别专注于支持商业增长、创新与生产力的投资。允许有限比例的慈善捐赠增加了灵活性，同时保持该类别对经济成果的重点。”
她指出，过去一年中，她与多位投资者、潜在投资者及慈善机构交流后了解到，各方希望投资者能够通过慈善捐赠直接支持新西兰的社会、环境、保护或文化事业。目前这一选项在“平衡类别（Balanced category）”中已存在，但在申请量较大的“增长类别”中尚未开放。
此次扩展将允许投资者通过符合条件的慈善机构或指定的环保部（Department of Conservation）项目进行慈善捐赠。
💰 关键规则
- AIP增长类别最低投资额仍为：500万纽币

🌿 政府立场
Stanford表示，此调整在保持增长类别以“实际投资”为核心的同时，也承认慈善行为同样能为社区带来积极影响。
她也感谢环保部长 Tama Potaka 在推动相关政策方面的工作。
Investor migrants using the Active Investor Plus Growth category will soon be able to include a philanthropic component as part of their overall investment in New Zealand.
From 1 June 2026, applicants in the Growth category will be able to include philanthropic gifts of up to 20 percent of their total investment, with the remainder continuing to be invested in higher-growth assets.
“The Active Investor Plus Visa is designed to attract experienced investors who can make a meaningful contribution to New Zealand’s economy and communities,” Immigration Minister Erica Stanford says.
“The Growth category is focused on investment that supports business growth, innovation and productivity. Allowing a capped philanthropic option adds flexibility, while keeping the category’s focus on strong economic outcomes.
“Over the last year I have met a number of investors, potential investors, and heard from charities, asking for investors to be able to contribute directly to social, environmental, conservation, or cultural good in New Zealand through a philanthropic gift as part of their AIP Visa. While that option is currently available in the Balanced category, it is not available in Growth which attracts the majority of applications.
“This expansion to Growth gives investors the option to support eligible charities or specified Department of Conversation initiatives with philanthropic gifts alongside their investment,” Ms Stanford says.
“Charities make invaluable contributions to our communities and for many a philanthropic gift can make a significant difference in being able to continue their important work.
“I particularly thank Conservation Minister Tama Potaka for his work to drive changes in the conservation space.”
The Growth category minimum investment remains NZD $5 million. Under the new settings, philanthropy can make up to 20 percent of that total ($1m), and the remaining investment must continue to be in acceptable investments.
Eligibility for registered charities to receive philanthropic gifts via the AIP Visa will also be strengthened. Charities must have been operating for at least five years, be a Tier 1-3 charity, and the philanthropic gift must be used to benefit New Zealand and cannot personally benefit the applicant.
“This expansion retains the Grown category’s focus on active investment, while recognising that philanthropy also supports positive outcomes for communities alongside strong economic investment,” Ms Stanford says.
More information on the detailed requirements will be available on the Immigration New Zealand website.
