In a bid to attract tech talent worldwide, New Zealand is easing its border restrictions for Information and Communication Technology (ICT) workers. The government has announced 600 border exceptions for tech workers. Interested workers or businesses can apply for an industry nomination via NZTech or IT Professionals NZ.
NZTech, the government-funded marketing arm designed to boost New Zealand technology globally, is at the forefront in these border exceptions. Graeme Muller, NZTech Chief Executive, confirms the country’s need for tech workers as New Zealand’s digital economy expands.
