They also are very discriminatory on retirement immigration- $900K cash is needed in their country at some social or economic thing if I recall. I guess only rich people are allowed there. The investment funds cannot be touched as I recall, not going to look it up again, but what a joke- it's like the highest income level place I have ever read about for immigration. Censorship + Income discrimination, great country alright.

The Bottom Line
The financial requirements for temporary visas are notably high: Depending on the
exchange rate,
you need more than $900,000 in investments and maintenance funds to retire in New Zealand, not counting the additional requirement of more than $43,000 in annual income. You’ll likely need more than the required assets and sources of income (including Social Security), to make it work. All the same, while it’s expensive to get your foot in the door, once you’re in New Zealand, the cost of living is comparable to (or cheaper than) many places in the U.S."
