Credit lines aren't a good way to help nzers. Bringing these people in to spend their money on our boarders is net positive. My question is why they refuse to lower petrol prices. This will relieve more pressure on the economy.
What Nicky no boats is saying something that is already being used. It doesn't matter if you give it a new name But it was always called a work visa fools.
Don't come here. Highest grocery prices Housing unaffordable. The government is moving to privatise health care so no free health care anymore. Tourist activities very expensive. Go to Australia.
Yup. Most digital nomads are looking for an affordable place to set up and work without the stress of high bills. Example , Bali Indonesia , Thailand, Portugal etc. Rarely do you see digital nomads in Switzerland, Monaco, and high overhead destinations.
You are so right. And she needs to understand that digital nomads are by no means a new phenomena and that she can suddenly, significantly boost our economy by enticing them here with this hugely generous offer. In fact I would say many, while they may not be "poor" can hardly be classed as wealthy at all.
Living costs are through the roof & wages aren't good what a joke & you wonder why people are leaving in the thousands to move to Australia for a better life
From the UK! Proponents of the four-day week say that the five-day pattern is a hangover from an earlier economic age. Joe Ryle, the foundation’s campaign director, said that the “9-5, five-day working week was invented 100 years ago and is no longer fit for purpose. We are long overdue an update.” With “50% more free time, a four-day week gives people the freedom to live happier, more fulfilling lives”, he continued. “As hundreds of British companies and one local council have already shown, a four-day week with no loss of pay can be a win-win for both workers and employers.”
Digital nomads prefer to live in cheap countries connected to the world, not on an island far from everything and where the cost of living is extremely expensive.
Nothing, as it's virtually impossible to monitor and/or prevent this happening. So I can't see how this new "announcement" will make any difference (or at least no significant difference) to our economy. It's all bluster and smoke and mirrors...and it took three of them to tell us this 😂😂
I dont care about bringing money into this country. Its fine for us to attract outside money to come in. What I care about is relieving the current pressure. Why is the petrol prices still so high. Our leader stated he would lower petrol prices during his run. But he promised to raise them. He lied to us.
The one two punch with Seymour announcing his privatisation policy and National saying we wont make money only by selling ourselves to overseas investors. Same thing more subtle
Thank you for your news article, sorry I didn't know RNZ had a TH-cam channel, this is what I wrote to Herald yesterday;
Where the hell are these digital nomads going to stay, we are in a housing crisis, oh let me guess they'll live in caravans or 'travel trailers' spend f all, trash the place and go back to thier country with thier credit card debt from the last decade paid off. Good grief Nicola, pull the other one! You obviously don't understand the digital nomad culture AT ALL. And also this comment; So the Digital Nomads won't pay tax here but they'll use our infrastructure for free? Hope too many don't need to be rescued by helicopter off a mountain top!
In Southeast Asia, this visa change has been available for more than 5 years. So NZ is just bringing itself in line with Asia . But is there risk or concern about criminal activity?
we need economic growth and allowing more youtubers in to showcase nz is excellent. surprised someone as leftwing as nicky is going along with it. the nz dollar has fallen 12.5% in real terms relative to the usd over recent months, so any growth short of this is still a loss.
Um... With respect, I think you missed the point. I don't think they are talking about you tubers, travel vloggers, content creators, or on line influencers. Foreign You tubers can already come here as tourists/visitors and make vlogs and publish their vlogs and that's great. But many of these travel vloggers are young budget travelers, not rich, wealthy tourists, which are whom these ministers said they are specifically targeting.
@@NewZman23 ok. thanks. so much news online it's hard to keep up. we need the wealthy tourists here too. they come in, leave their money, and nz becomes richer. i am surprised nicky gets it - the left usually don't.
how about looking after our citizens first before you let digital nomads in

Privatise health care you mean will we be like America they hate there health system.
WE hate our health care.

Don't come here. Highest grocery prices Housing unaffordable. The government is moving to privatise health care so no free health care anymore. Tourist activities very expensive. Go to Australia.
hahha who would want to come here..its too damned expensive and prices are still not coming down
That's the big plan outprice those who live here, and move in the rich.
You censored my comment RNZ . Do you have an Elon stooge working for you?
Yup. Most digital nomads are looking for an affordable place to set up and work without the stress of high bills. Example , Bali Indonesia , Thailand, Portugal etc. Rarely do you see digital nomads in Switzerland, Monaco, and high overhead destinations.
Nicola needs to google digital nomad. They are not all wealthy!

So invite more people to put a strain on Rent and housing? Are these guys Daft or something or they just no care....

Some one is removing ctitical comments about That Saluting person RNZ. Is there another mole working for you?
Digital nomads prefer to live in cheap countries connected to the world, not on an island far from everything and where the cost of living is extremely expensive.
Like in 2015 a whole bunch of none english speaking people are gonna coming in for these jobs only to end up taxi drivers!
If you are on a tourist visa, what stops you doing this now?
Nothing, as it's virtually impossible to monitor and/or prevent this happening. So I can't see how this new "announcement" will make any difference (or at least no significant difference) to our economy. It's all bluster and smoke and mirrors...and it took three of them to tell us this 😂😂
Please don't come,National have wrecked the economy groceries are way too expensive and the same for renters, NZ is not a good option.
lol..
Your special
If Shane Jones gets his way, there'll be nothing left for digital nomads to come here to see.

Sooo expensive for a small country??

Why don’t you look at longer parent visitor visas - there’s a much greater market there and guaranteed more spending than a person without family!
15% less tourists, that are the poor backpackers you don’t want anymore.
This is a person who has no concern for anyone in this country. It's about corporate investment and catering to their corporate machine.😂
she'll go down in history as NZ WORST MP ever
Next time you take an uber ask your driver his qulifications(especially the indians)?
Isn't NZ losing highly skilled workers to Australia? What if Digital Nomads apply and attend job interiews while in NZ?
In Southeast Asia, this visa change has been available for more than 5 years. So NZ is just bringing itself in line with Asia . But is there risk or concern about criminal activity?
Migratant exploration was about private business not following rules.
Good question about government property sales. You can see there are thoughts. Neoliberal economics failing!
This should only be done if the countries those people are coming from allow us to also go there easily also..
Why was this not allowed during the period 2009-2017?
Which is nicer location Thailand, Vietnam or NZ?
Can the reporters speak up please. Can’t hear a thing.
we need economic growth and allowing more youtubers in to showcase nz is excellent. surprised someone as leftwing as nicky is going along with it. the nz dollar has fallen 12.5% in real terms relative to the usd over recent months, so any growth short of this is still a loss.

What is the expected monetary impact on the GDP?
They are trying to convince us this will be significant. I'm yet to be convinced.
Will they be covered by ACC, Funded by taxpayers?
meanwhile my doctor and nurse friends (kiwi and immigrant) are all leaving
This won’t save the economy.
Culture of negativity in comment section 🙄
you mean like your comment?
@ against growth and investment
a growing income doesn't mean much if the cost of living out grows it. Sounds like the Jewish question requires attention
Are you serious rn. u seriously can't be trying to put blame onto jewish new citizens, simply shameful, this was how a mass genocide unfolded.
YOU DID NOT ASK ME! AND I SAY NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!
WE DO NOT HAVE TO KEEP UP WITH THE JONES!
Why on earth would a digital nomad choose NZ to move to. The country is an economic disaster
