The government will target highly skilled people, particularly IT workers from Southeast Asia and the US, Economic Growth Minister Nicola Willis said at a press conference at Wellington Airport on Monday.
“The government’s ambition is that these new visa rules will put New Zealand on the map as a welcoming haven for the world’s talent,” Willis said. “We want more of the world’s wealthy and super-talented people coming in those arrival gates.”
The new visa rules, which take effect immediately, will also allow travelers to extend their time in New Zealand, though Willis cautioned that working for more than 90 days could have tax implications.
