New Zealand is set to introduce looser visa rules starting January 27, allowing holidaymakers to work remotely while visiting. Immigration Minister Erica Stanford highlighted the move aims to attract a new market of tourists who wish to combine travel with work. The government hopes that increases in visitor spending and longer stays will revitalize the tourism sector, which remains below pre-pandemic levels. With New Zealand recently experiencing a technical recession, the initiative is part of broader strategies to enhance economic growth and international business ties.
I expect in their time here that they will spend longer than they normally would, they will spend more because they're here for longer, and the thing that we're really hoping, is that they fall in love with the place.
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.
