INSIGHT

New Zealand's Residence Appeal

New Zealand is seen as a strong Plan B option due to its peace and safety but remains expensive to invest in.
Its geopolitical neutrality and isolation make it attractive for residence during global chaos.

ADVICE

Choose Ireland for EU Access

Ireland offers residence permits with little investment if you have critical skills and hire locally.
It provides a path to EU citizenship with tax advantages making it an attractive alternative to New Zealand.

ADVICE

Oman Bonds for Low-Risk Residence

Invest 1.3 million USD in Omani government bonds for residence with lower risk than New Zealand.
While Oman has no citizenship path, maintaining investment secures long-term residence rights.
