What are the best options for applying for a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) from New Zealand?

@Pat *****
 I’ve seen posts saying 400 USD to apply. That’s about 13.5k. There’s probably some place on earth that charges 15, but as I don’t know what each individual embassy will charge it was an approximate figure.

 The visa when granted is valid for 5 years. At this stage it appears that no one is checking whether you actually do what you signed up for, but perhaps in the future they may. There is nothing that states you must continually do courses for the entire 5 years.

 DTV is 500k requirement. 800k is for a retirement visa, which you’re a long way off from getting.

And don’t apply in NZ. They are the priciest embassy anywhere in the world. Approx 40,000 baht where you can get it elsewhere from 10-15k
