You can look at aerial photos of the few airports in NZ to see if their private jets are still parked there. Because until fairly recently small houses sold for $50,000 in NZ, and obviously foreign money would jack those prices up, the NZ govt. started talking about making their passports harder to obtain. They also currently require a "travel document" from Americans, to reciprocate for US entry policy: https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/travel/americans-will-need-a-travel-document-to-enter-new-zealand-starting-oct-1/2019/06/26/a4f23482-977a-11e9-8d0a-5edd7e2025b1_story.html https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/travel/americans-wi...
