New Zealand Opens Doors to Remote Work for Tourists

Tourists can now work remotely in New Zealand for up to 90 days without a special visa, provided their employer is based abroad.

New Zealand has introduced a policy allowing tourists to work remotely during their stay, aiming to attract digital nomads to the country.
Eligible travelers from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland can work remotely for up to 90 days without needing a special visa.
Visitors staying longer than three months may be required to pay taxes in New Zealand, depending on the duration of their stay.
The government hopes the initiative will boost tourism, which contributes nearly $11 billion NZD annually to the economy and employs around 200,000 residents.
Travelers must still obtain an electronic travel authorization (NZeTA) and pay associated fees, including a conservation and tourism levy.
