Digital nomads can now work out of the Shire
Briefly

As New Zealand grapples with economic challenges linked to inflation and interest rates, the government has introduced relaxed visa rules for visitors, enhancing its appeal to digital nomads. Effective January 27, 2025, individuals on tourist visas can now work remotely for foreign companies for up to 90 days. This move is expected to support economic recovery by attracting overseas workers. While specific nomadic visas are not yet available, the initiative allows remote workers extended stay options, capitalizing on the influx of tourists that has gradually regained strength post-pandemic.
Starting January 27, 2025, New Zealand will allow visitors on tourist visas to work remotely for foreign companies up to 90 days, inviting digital nomads.
This initiative relaxes existing visa rules, enabling foreign workers to stay longer in New Zealand while continuing to be employed by their overseas companies.
