The trend of taking a ‘workcation’ - working remotely while travelling - has gained momentum as companies become more flexible with remote work policies. In response, countries like New Zealand and Australia have introduced flexibility to their visitor visas designed to attract digital nomads, allowing them to live, work, and explore for extended periods with ease.
