Will the India‑New Zealand FTA launch a new visa category for Indian professionals by 2026-11-15?
95%chance, per Kāla
Why
Base rate: Historically, new FTAs sometimes include visa provisions, but only about 30 % of India‑partner FTAs have added fresh professional visa categories within a few months of entry into force. Latest evidence: The Hindu article dated 2026‑10‑20 reports that the India‑New Zealand FTA, which just came into force, contains two new Temporary Employment Entry (TEE) visa categories for Indian nationals.
