New Zealand eases visa rules to attract digital nomads
New Zealand has relaxed visa requirements in a bid to attract more long term remote workers.
New rules now allow for digital nomads to work remotely for a foreign employer while staying and travelling in the country for up to 90 days.
After this period, digital nomads who continue to stay and work in the country pay resident’s tax.
“The change will enable many visitors to extend their stays, which will lead to more money being spent in the country,” Immigration Minister Erica Stanford said.
“We welcome visitors of all types to New Zealand and in this particular announcement, those who are able to work as digital nomads here,” said Stanford.
The change applies to all visitor visas, including tourist visas and longer-stay family visas.
New Zealand is the latest country recognising the economic impact that long stay digital nomads can bring.
Countries such as Japan, South Korea, Brazil, Spain and Portugal have launched dedicated visas and immigration rules to attract remote workers.
