New Zealand's new visa lets digital nomads work remotely while exploring its stunning landscapes. Enjoy top locations & work-life balance in a scenic paradise.

The country, which sank into a recession last year, is trying to entice highly skilled “digital nomads” to work in the island nation for up to nine months.

Around 66 countries across the globe provide digital nomad visas/permits. Spain is the top destination for digital nomads, according to the Digital Nomad Visa Index. Other popular countries are Argentina, Romania, UAE, Croatia, Portugal, Uruguay, Malta, Norway, and Andorra.

New Zealand will introduce looser visa rules to allow holiday makers to work remotely while visiting the country, to boost its tourism sector and economy, it said on Monday.

Visitors can now carry out remote working for a foreign employer while holidaying in the country for up to 90 days.

New Zealand is making it easier for tourists to work remotely while visiting the country, as part of efforts to help its stagnating economy.

While the rule change falls short of a full digital nomad visa, it’s now easier to work while visiting New Zealand. View on euronews
