New Zealand is now an attractive destination for digital nomads and remote workers, thanks to updated visitor visa rules. These changes, effective immediately, allow visitors to work remotely for overseas employers or clients while exploring the country’s stunning landscapes. Under the new conditions, visitors—including those with NZeTA (New Zealand Electronic Travel Authority)—can stay connected with their overseas work without breaching visa requirements. This applies to tourists, those visiting family, and partners or guardians on longer-term visitor visas. It’s important to note that while remote work for overseas employers is allowed, visitor visa holders cannot work for New Zealand employers, provide goods or services locally, or perform any work requiring a physical presence in a New Zealand workplace. For stays exceeding 92 days within a 12-month period, remote workers should be mindful of potential tax implications. Employers are reminded to use VisaView to confirm migrant visa conditions and ensure compliance. This progressive move positions New Zealand as a haven for travellers seeking work-life balance in one of the world’s most beautiful settings. Come and experience the best of both worlds!

Two major updates for accredited employers and labour hire firms kick in on 27 January 2025. Here’s what’s changing: Employment Modules No Longer Required Employers and key hiring personnel will no longer need to complete Employment New Zealand’s learning modules, which are being discontinued. Recognised Seasonal Employers (RSEs) are also included in this change. Immigration New Zealand will continue educating migrant workers about their employment rights. Lower Domestic Workforce Threshold for Construction Labour Hire Construction labour hire firms’ requirement to employ New Zealand citizens or residents will drop from 35% to 15% for hiring under the AEWV. This aligns construction with other industries and addresses workforce gaps. These updates are part of broader AEWV reforms set for 2025. Stay prepared and adjust your hiring strategies accordingly.
