Working as a freelancer in New Zealand

Post new topic

Kenjee

Hi,

A lot of expats dream of becoming self-employed: we would like to help you to make that dream come true.

Can foreigners work as self-employed in New Zealand? What are the formalities to work as a freelancer?

What are the pros and cons of this status: social security, tax system, etc.?

How is the freelance market in New Zealand?

Thank you in advance for sharing your experience,

Kenjee

you cannot work as a freelancer in NZ unless you have an open work visa (based on partnership or post study job search work visa) or are a resident
