It's a longshot, but don't forget to apply for the DV lottery. Due to the unusual structure of the program NZ citizens have a higher chance of winning. Short of marriage it's by far the best visa, since it's a green card (permanent residence), not a work visa.

You will likely lose your green card if you stay out of the US for more than 6 months. So it's not a good solution for occasional stays.

This option would also tie OP to pay tax forever and wherever.

DV lottery is for the GreenCard, not for citizenship. You can return your Green card at any time and stop paying taxes.
