No changes to the Golden Visa scheme's capital rules - as the Minister says it's had a roaring start

A billion dollars has been invested since the scheme launched in April - and another two billion's expected in the next six months.

It grants indefinite visas for overseas investors putting 5-million dollars into high-risk Kiwi investments - or 10 million in lower-risk ones.

Immigration Minister Erica Stanford says they won't change those thresholds - because it's already popular.

She says the problem isn't money coming in - it's where it can go to be productive and grow jobs for Kiwis.
