Meanwhile , working from home became the new normal during the pandemic and this made it easier to switch countries . Plenty of countries implemented digital nomad visa programs . The demand on business and investment continue to rise . The New Zealand government increased the investment amount for its investor program . Australia has extended processing time for business and investment migrants because a certain quota is allocated to skilled migrants .
