New Zealand Relaxes Golden Visa, Launches Digital Nomad Visa
Briefly

New Zealand is easing restrictions on its golden visa program while simultaneously launching a new digital nomad visa, aimed at attracting long-term visitors and investors. The gold visa process will no longer require English proficiency and simplifies investment criteria, with options ranging from $2.9 million to $5.8 million. The digital nomad visa stands out by not imposing a minimum income requirement, making it easier for individuals to consider relocating. These changes are part of a broader strategy to invite more residents while leveraging New Zealand's proven quality of life.
Prime Minister Christopher Mark Luxon announced a relaxation of the golden visa process, eliminating the English language requirement and simplifying investment options to attract new residents.
The new digital nomad visa does not have a minimum monthly income requirement, making it more appealing for long-term visitors looking to settle.
Luxon described the new simplified visa processes as "rolling out the welcome mat" for new arrivals, aiming to encourage more long-term investments in New Zealand.
New Zealand's appeal lies not just in its natural beauty, but also in high-quality healthcare, education, and infrastructure, making it an attractive place to call home.
