The Government's signalling more visa changes could be on the way, to encourage overseas travellers
28 January 2025
There's been a loosening of visa settings - allowing tourists on holiday here for up to three months to work remotely for an overseas employer.
Tourism Minister Louise Upston says the tourism sector continues to fall short of pre-pandemic visitor numbers.
She says they're looking at how to make New Zealand an easier place to visit, including reviewing the visa rules.
Upston says the changes have to be balanced by risk, but people want to know if they apply to come here, that they'll likely get in.
