Moving To New Zealand Just Got Easier For Digital Nomads


Listen Later

David Andrews, Director of Visa Visa Limited, returns to the Expat Focus Podcast to explain New Zealand's new approach to digital nomads. In this episode, we uncover the truth behind what's been called a "digital nomad visa" (but isn't actually a new visa at all!), exploring how visitors can now legally work remotely while enjoying everything New Zealand has to offer.

David shares valuable insights about:

  • How the visitor visa rules have changed to accommodate digital nomads
  • Tax implications for remote workers from countries with tax treaties
  • The current job market and in-demand skills in New Zealand
  • Investment visa changes making NZ more attractive for high-net-worth individuals
  • An increase in American professionals (especially doctors) looking to relocate
  • Practical advice on qualification transfers and finding employment
  • The best locations for digital nomads, from Auckland to Christchurch
  • Internet connectivity solutions for remote workers

Whether you're considering a short working holiday or testing the waters for a permanent move, this episode provides essential information for anyone interested in experiencing life in New Zealand while maintaining their remote career.
