What you need to knowIt's now a condition of all visitor visas that you can work remotely in New Zealand.However, there are a few rules to follow to qualify as "remote work": The key takeaway is that remote work alone isn't a lawful reason to visit New Zealand. But, if you're coming here for a holiday, to sightsee, to visit family or friends, and also want to work remotely, you're good to go!New Zealand Visa Remember, if your job requires you to be in New Zealand—like if you're a sales rep for an overseas company, a performer, or working for a Kiwi employer—you'll still need the appropriate visa for your situation.The usual visitor visa application process still applies, whether getting a visitor visa or entering with an NZeTA (New Zealand Electronic Travel Authority) from a visa waiver country or territory.Also, the rules around the maximum length of stay remain the same: six months for multiple entries or nine months for a single entry, unless an exception applies.So there you have it!This new visa condition is a game-changer for remote workers looking to explore New Zealand without putting their work on hold.Pack your bags, bring your laptop, and get ready for an adventure Down Under!

If you are thinking of MOVING TO NEW ZEALAND and want to know more about the country, SIGN UP HERE for our FREE 5-DAY VIDEO GUIDE To Life in New Zealand.

Check them out https://itsadrama.com/torfx 💰 We use Wise whenever we travel.
