There is good news if you want to work in New Zealand online. The country has a new visa. It lets visitors work online for a foreign employer. People staying for nine months have to pay tax. New Zealand's economic growth minister said: "We want…wealthy and super-talented people coming [through] the arrival gates."
New Zealand's economy suffered because of the Covid pandemic. Another thing that is hurting the economy is the many young people leaving the country. New Zealand hopes the new visitors will spend more money. This will help the economy. It also hopes they will fall in love with New Zealand.
