New Zealand has implemented new visa regulations aimed at attracting digital nomads to boost its economy, which is emerging from a recent recession. The revised visitor visa now allows foreign workers to reside in New Zealand for up to nine months while working for overseas companies, a significant policy shift. Finance Minister Nicola Willis remarked that the goal is to position New Zealand as a welcoming destination for skilled professionals, particularly targeting tech workers from the U.S. and East Asia. This move aligns with government efforts to stimulate economic growth and draw international talent.
The visitor visa, previously restrictive, now permits remote workers to stay in New Zealand for up to nine months while working for overseas employers, fostering economic recovery.
Ms. Willis aims to attract digital nomads, emphasizing that the new policy will create opportunities without competing for local jobs, bolstering New Zealand's appeal globally.
