The Government's signalling more visa changes could be on the way to encourage overseas travellers.
There's been a loosening of visa settings, allowing tourists on holiday here for up to nine 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 told Mike Hosking 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.
The Tourism Minister says the change will attract digital nomads and is part of the ongoing work to get tourism numbers back to pre-pandemic levels.
She Hosking Australia will be her initial focus, as it's very easy for Australians to come visit.
