Digital Nomad Visa
Visitor Visa Remote Work Allowance (Digital Nomad)
Not a separate permit: since 27 January 2025 every visitor visa and NZeTA allows unlimited remote work for overseas employers/clients while in New Zealand, making it a de facto digital-nomad route.

Costs and stay limits are those of the visitor visa (from NZD 441, up to 9 months) or NZeTA; no income threshold applies.
