Upon receiving permanent residency, you can sponsor your parents for residency under the Parent Retirement Category.
If your family members are included in the application, they must travel to New Zealand within 12 months of visa approval, though they are not required to remain in the country for a set duration.
Applicants aged 16 and older must demonstrate English language proficiency or choose to pre-purchase ESOL tuition, which can be completed after arrival in New Zealand.

To purchase residential property, investors must typically be considered residents in New Zealand. Those who meet only the minimum stay requirement may need special approval for property purchases. However, this restriction is lifted after spending at least 183 days in the country within a 12-month period and meeting tax residency criteria.
