New Zealand has opened its doors wider for digital nomads. Starting January 27, 2025, the country’s Visitor Visa now lets remote workers stay for up to 90 days. This is great news for people who want to work while exploring this beautiful country.
What the Visa Offers
The new visa rules are simple. If you work for a company outside New Zealand, you can now live and work there for up to three months. This includes:
- Employees of foreign companies who work remotely
- Self-employed workers with clients outside New Zealand
- No minimum income requirement (unlike many other digital nomad visas)
This change means you can enjoy New Zealand’s stunning landscapes without rushing your visit. You can work during the day and explore in your free time.
Why New Zealand Made This Change
The New Zealand government sees this as a win-win situation. Immigration Minister Erica Stanford explained that allowing visitors to stay longer will bring more money into the country. These longer stays help:
- Support local businesses
- Create jobs for New Zealanders
- Boost the overall economy
- Provide sustainable tourism
Digital nomads tend to spend more money than regular tourists because they stay longer. They rent homes, shop at local stores, and become part of communities.
New Zealand as a Digital Nomad Destination
New Zealand offers an amazing mix of work and play. The country has reliable internet in most areas and plenty of cafes and coworking spaces. But what really makes it special is what you can do after work hours.
New Zealand is famous for its outdoor activities. You can go skiing in the Southern Alps, surf at beaches like Raglan, hike through native forests, or stargaze in dark sky reserves. The country packs incredible variety into a relatively small area.
The cities offer vibrant cultures too. Auckland, Wellington, and Christchurch have thriving food scenes, museums, and cultural events.
Part of a Global Trend
New Zealand isn’t alone in welcoming digital nomads. At least 66 countries now offer special visas for remote workers. Recent additions include South Korea, Italy, Japan, and Kenya. Each country has created programs to attract these modern workers.
This global trend shows how work is changing. More people can now earn a living without being tied to one location. Countries are adapting their immigration rules to match this new reality.
Who Can Apply for the New Zealand Digital Nomad Visa?
Eligibility Based on Visa Type
The New Zealand Digital Nomad Visa has different eligibility requirements depending on your planned length of stay.
Short-Term Stays (Under 3 Months)
For stays less than 3 months, you can use either the Visitor Visa or NZeTA (New Zealand Electronic Travel Authority). These options are widely available to most travelers.
The good news is that almost anyone from any country can visit New Zealand using either the Visitor Visa or NZeTA. This makes New Zealand accessible to digital nomads from around the world.
If you hold an Australian passport, the process is even simpler. Australian citizens don’t need to apply for any visa at all – you can simply arrive in New Zealand and begin your stay right away.
Longer Stays (Up to 1 Year)
If you want to experience New Zealand for a longer period (up to a full year), you’ll need to apply for the Working Holiday Visa instead.
The Working Holiday Visa has more specific requirements:

- Age restrictions: You must be between 18-30 years old (or 18-35 for citizens of some specific countries)
- Financial proof: You need to show you have enough money to support yourself during your stay

- Brazil
- Canada
- China
- Croatia
- Czech Republic
- Denmark
- Finland
- France
- Germany
- Hong Kong

How to Apply for the Digital Nomad Visa in New Zealand
Understanding Your Visa Options
To work remotely in New Zealand, you need to pick the right visa for your situation. There are three main options: the NZeTA, the Visitor Visa, and the Working Holiday Visa. Each has its own steps to follow.
NZeTA for Visa Waiver Countries
If you come from a country that has a visa waiver agreement with New Zealand, the NZeTA (New Zealand Electronic Travel Authority) is your fastest option.
The NZeTA is simple to get:
- It costs only $17 NZD
- Processing time is quick — up to 72 hours
- You apply online
This option works well for digital nomads planning a short stay of up to 3 months.
Visitor Visa Process
If your country doesn’t have a visa waiver agreement with New Zealand, you’ll need to apply for a Visitor Visa. This visa can let you stay for up to 9 months, depending on your home country.
Requirements for the Visitor Visa
You need several documents to apply:
- Valid passport
- A passport photo
- Chest x-ray or medical exam (or both), depending on how long you’ll stay and where you’re from

Step-by-Step Guide for the Visitor Visa

- Most people hear back within 11 working days
- The maximum wait time is usually 38 working days
- You’ll get an email when a decision is made
Working Holiday Visa for Longer Stays
Most digital nomads find the NZeTA or Visitor Visa works for their needs. But if you want to stay longer and meet certain age requirements, the Working Holiday Visa is a great option.
The Working Holiday Visa lets you stay and work in New Zealand for up to 12 months. Some passport holders get even more time:
- Canadian citizens can stay for up to 23 months

Step Four: Receive Your Decision
Most applicants hear back quickly:
- Average processing time is just 3 working days
- Some applications may take up to a month or more
- Factors that can slow things down include medical requirements and high application volumes
Once approved, you must enter New Zealand within 12 months of your visa acceptance.
Extending Your Stay in New Zealand
Visitor Visa Extensions
The NZeTA and Visitor Visa have limits on how long you can stay in a 12-month period. These limits depend on your country of citizenship.

For Canadian and UK Citizens:

Planning Your Application Timeline
Since processing times vary, it’s smart to apply well before your planned trip:
- For the NZeTA, apply at least 3 days before travel
- For the Visitor Visa, apply 1-2 months before your trip
- For the Working Holiday Visa, apply 3-4 weeks before your planned departure
Remember that during busy travel seasons, processing may take longer. The earlier you apply, the more time you have to handle any unexpected delays.
Important Rules to Follow
While New Zealand welcomes digital nomads, there are some clear rules you must follow to keep your work legal. These rules make sure you don’t take job opportunities away from New Zealanders.
Here are the main things you need to remember:
- You cannot work for a New Zealand employer
- You cannot provide any goods or services to people in New Zealand
- You cannot do work that requires you to be physically present at a workplace in NZ
What This Means in Practice
These rules mean you need to maintain your employment or client relationships with companies and people outside of New Zealand.
Your salary or payments should come from overseas sources. Your work should not directly compete with local New Zealand businesses or workers.
You can work from your accommodation, cafes, libraries, or co-working spaces – but you cannot take a job that requires you to be at a specific New Zealand workplace.
Remote Work Activities That Are Allowed
Under these rules, you can:
- Join virtual meetings with your overseas team
- Complete projects for your foreign employer
- Service clients who are located outside New Zealand
- Manage your own business that operates outside New Zealand
- Collaborate with colleagues from around the world
All these activities are perfectly legal as long as the money comes from outside New Zealand and your work doesn’t directly affect the local job market.
Enjoying the Digital Nomad Lifestyle in New Zealand
With these new rules, New Zealand has joined many other countries in recognizing the growing trend of location-independent work. You can now enjoy working against the backdrop of New Zealand’s mountains, beaches, and forests without worrying about visa restrictions.
Whether you’re staying for a few weeks or the full period allowed by your visa, you can maintain your income while exploring all that New Zealand has to offer.
The Right Way to Work Remotely in New Zealand
To sum up, working remotely in New Zealand as a digital nomad is now fully legal on a Visitor Visa or NZeTA, as long as:
- Your employer or clients are based outside New Zealand
- You don’t provide services to people in New Zealand
- Your work is truly remote and doesn’t require a physical New Zealand workplace
Tax and Legal Rules for Digital Nomads in New Zealand
Understanding Tax Obligations in New Zealand
Most digital nomads won’t need to pay taxes in New Zealand. The country has clear rules about when remote workers must pay taxes based on how long they stay.
Short-Term Visitors (Less than 92 Days)
According to the New Zealand government’s immigration site, if your income is already taxed in another country, you likely won’t need to pay taxes in New Zealand if your stay is brief:
- You can stay up to 92 days in a 12-month period without paying NZ taxes
- These days don’t need to be all at once
- If you visit multiple times in a year, the days add up
This exemption applies to most digital nomads who are just visiting for a few months while working for their foreign employer.
Medium-Term Visitors (93-183 Days)
If your home country has a tax treaty with New Zealand, you may be able to stay longer without paying NZ taxes:
- You can stay up to 183 days before owing taxes
- New Zealand has tax treaties with more than 40 countries
- This includes Australia, most European countries, the UK, the US, and many Asian nations
To find out if your country has a tax treaty with New Zealand, you can check the Inland Revenue’s website.
Long-Term Visitors (More than 183 Days)
If you stay in New Zealand for more than 183 days in a 12-month period, you will be considered a tax resident. This changes your tax situation:
- Your worldwide income becomes subject to New Zealand taxes
- Taxes apply from the first day you were in the country
- You will need an IRD number (tax ID number)
New Zealand Tax Rates
As a New Zealand tax resident, you would pay progressive tax rates:
- Up to $14,000 — 10.5%
- $14,001 to $48,000 — 17.5%
- $48,001 to $70,000 — 30%
- $70,001 to $180,000 — 33%
- $180,001+ — 39%
Avoiding Double Taxation
If you become a tax resident in New Zealand, you might worry about paying taxes twice — once in New Zealand and once in your home country.
Many countries have double tax agreements with New Zealand to prevent this problem. These agreements make sure you don’t pay taxes twice on the same income.
If your country doesn’t have such an agreement with New Zealand, it might be better to keep your stay under 183 days.
Staying Compliant with Local Laws
To avoid tax problems, follow these simple steps:
✅ Keep careful track of how many days you stay in New Zealand
✅ Consult a tax advisor if you plan to stay more than 90 days
✅ Check if your home country has a tax treaty with New Zealand
✅ Apply for an IRD number if you’ll stay more than 183 days
Getting an IRD Number
If you need to pay taxes in New Zealand, you’ll need an IRD number. You can apply for one on the IRD website. This number is also required if you want to open a New Zealand bank account.
Most digital nomads visiting New Zealand for less than six months won’t have tax complications. Even with a six-month stay, you’ll have plenty of time to explore the country without becoming a tax resident.
To be safe, check your specific situation before your trip, especially if you plan to stay for an extended period.
Pros of Working Remotely in New Zealand
1. Stunning Natural Beauty

This makes it an ideal location for those who enjoy outdoor activities like hiking, skiing, or simply exploring scenic views.
2. Safe and Secure Environment
New Zealand consistently ranks as one of the safest countries in the world. It has low crime rates and is known for being one of the least corrupt nations. This makes it a great place to live and work without worrying about safety concerns.
3. Friendly and Welcoming Locals
Kiwis (New Zealanders) are known for their warm and friendly nature. Whether you’re in a big city like Auckland or Wellington or a smaller town, you’ll likely be greeted with smiles and kindness. This welcoming atmosphere can make it easier to settle in and feel at home.
4. Multicultural Society
New Zealand is a melting pot of cultures, with people from Maori, European, Asian, and Pacific Island backgrounds. This diversity is reflected in the food, festivals, and daily life, offering a rich cultural experience for digital nomads.
5. Reliable Internet and Coworking Spaces
In populated areas, New Zealand offers reliable internet and access to coworking spaces, making it easier for remote workers to stay connected and productive.
Cons of Working Remotely in New Zealand
1. High Cost of Living
New Zealand has a high cost of living compared to other digital nomad destinations. Many goods are imported, which drives up prices. Additionally, housing costs have risen significantly in recent years, making it expensive to find accommodation.
2. Strong Sun and UV Radiation
New Zealand sits under a hole in the ozone layer, making the sun’s UV rays extremely strong. This increases the risk of sunburn and skin cancer, so it’s essential to use sunscreen and protective clothing when outdoors.
3. Geographic Isolation
New Zealand is one of the most remote countries in the world. While this isolation adds to its charm, it can be challenging for digital nomads who need to travel frequently. Flights to other countries are long and expensive, which can make visiting family or attending international meetings difficult.
4. Unpredictable Weather
The weather in New Zealand can be highly unpredictable, with sudden changes in conditions. This can disrupt outdoor plans and make it harder to enjoy the natural beauty consistently.
5. Limited Rural Internet Connectivity
While internet connectivity is reliable in cities, rural areas often have slower and less stable wifi. This can be a challenge for digital nomads who prefer to work from remote or less populated locations.

Healthcare in New Zealand for Digital Nomads
New Zealand is known for its high-quality healthcare system, but as a digital nomad, it’s important to understand how healthcare works for temporary visitors. While New Zealand offers universal healthcare for its residents, most digital nomads will need to rely on private health insurance. Below is a detailed guide to healthcare in New Zealand for digital nomads, based on the provided context and additional factual data.
1. Universal Healthcare in New Zealand
New Zealand has a public healthcare system called the Public Health System, which provides free or low-cost medical care to residents and citizens. However, this system does not cover most temporary visitors, including digital nomads.
Key Points:
- Eligibility: Only residents and citizens can access free or subsidized healthcare.
- Digital Nomads: If you are on a temporary visa or visiting with an NZeTA (New Zealand Electronic Travel Authority), you will not be eligible for public healthcare.
2. Health Insurance for Digital Nomads
Since digital nomads are not covered by New Zealand’s public healthcare system, having private health insurance is essential.
Why You Need Health Insurance:
- Visa Requirements: Many New Zealand visas require proof of health insurance as part of the application process.
- Medical Costs: Without insurance, medical expenses can be very high. For example, a 15-minute doctor’s visit can cost between NZD $120 and NZD $250.
- Peace of Mind: Insurance ensures you are covered for unexpected illnesses or emergencies.
What to Look for in Health Insurance:
- Coverage for Doctor Visits: Ensure your plan covers general consultations.
- Emergency Care: Look for coverage for hospital stays and emergency treatments.
- Prescription Medications: Check if your plan includes coverage for medicines.
- Repatriation: Some plans cover the cost of returning to your home country for medical treatment.
3. Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC)
New Zealand has a unique program called the Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC), which provides no-fault personal injury coverage for everyone in the country, including visitors.
How ACC Works:
- Coverage: ACC covers injuries caused by accidents, such as falls, car crashes, or sports injuries.
- Costs Covered: This includes doctor visits, hospital stays, surgeries, and rehabilitation.
- Limitations: ACC does not cover illnesses, pre-existing conditions, or routine medical checkups.
Example:
If you break your leg while hiking in New Zealand, ACC will cover your medical expenses. However, if you catch a cold or need a routine checkup, you will need to pay out of pocket or use your private health insurance.

Healthcare costs in New Zealand can be high for non-residents. Below is a breakdown of common medical expenses:

Is New Zealand Right for Digital Nomads?
New Zealand is a great choice for digital nomads. It has beautiful nature, friendly people, and a calm way of life. Many remote workers enjoy the fresh air and quiet places here. Working outdoors can even help you feel more creative and happy.
There are some things to think about. The cost of living in New Zealand can be higher than in some other places. Rent, food, and transport may cost more than what you are used to. Also, the time zone may be different from your home. This can make meetings and work calls a bit tricky. Tax rules may also be different, so it is smart to talk to a money expert.

Note: Immigration rules change often. Always check with official sources or legal experts before making plans.
