New Zealand is set to ease visitor visa rules to allow visitors to work remotely while they are visiting. Erica Stanford, Immigration Minister stated that starting January 27, visitors would be able to work while travelling across the country.
“This is a brand-new market of tourists New Zealand can tap into. We want people to see our country as the ideal place to visit and work while they do it,” she said.

“The government’s ambition is that new visa rules will put New Zealand boldly on the map as a welcoming haven for the world’s talent,” New Zealand Minister of Economic Growth Nicola Willis, said.
“We hope that in some cases, it will encourage those people and the firms they represent to consider doing more business with New Zealand in the future,” Willis added. International visitor numbers are currently at approximately 86% of 2019 levels. The tourism sector continues to recover from pandemic-induced border closures.
