In this episode of our Cross-Border Catch-Up podcast series, Goli Rahimi (Chicago) and Kate Thompson (New York/Boston) discuss recent developments in remote work regulations, with a focus on New Zealand and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Kate and Goli highlight New Zealand’s relaxed visa requirements, which now allow digital nomads to work remotely from the country for up to nine months. They also cover the Abu Dhabi Global Market’s introduction of new employment regulations designed to facilitate remote work, including provisions for necessary tools, cybersecurity measures, and fair treatment of remote employees in the UAE.
