New border class exception for the technology sector

The NZ Government has announced a new border exception for the technology sector which will enable 600 specialist tech workers and their partners and dependent children to come to New Zealand.

It includes four categories of workers within the technology sector:

The details are still being worked through, with the view to having it operational in early 2022.
