New Zealand has made changes to its Visitor Visa to attract remote workers, allowing them to work for foreign employers for up to 90 days. This move aims to stimulate economic growth by encouraging longer stays and increased spending in the country.
New Zealand has updated its Visitor Visa to allow remote work ers to work for foreign employers and self-employed individuals with international clients. This new amendment to the tourist visa aims to boost economic growth by encouraging longer visitor stays and increased spending within the country. The updated visa permits stays of up to 90 days, allowing remote work ers to contribute to the local economy.
Immigration Minister Erica Stanford emphasized that extending visitor stays would lead to more money being spent in New Zealand, strengthening businesses and creating opportunities for residents. \The key difference between the updated Visitor Visa and the standard tourist visa is the allowance for remote work for foreign businesses. A standard tourist visa does not permit any work at all. It's important to note that this update does not introduce a separate digital nomad visa but modifies the existing Visitor Visa. Minister Louise Upston highlighted the global trend of digital nomad visas, noting that many countries offer such programs, and the list is growing. She stressed the importance of keeping pace to ensure New Zealand remains an attractive destination for people seeking to work abroad. \International remote workers have the potential to spend more time and money in New Zealand, including during the off-season. Applicants can submit applications for the updated Visitor Visa online through New Zealand’s digital immigration portal. Applicants may also be required to pay the International Visitor Conservation and Tourism Levy (IVL), a $100 fee that funds various infrastructure and conservation projects
