Immigration New Zealand is investigating the visa status of a YouTube celebrity who's been travelling New Zealand.
Darren Watkins Junior, known by his channel name "I Show Speed", has been touring the country making videos and posting online -- as you do, when you're a full-time influencer.
But he's only on a visa waiver from his home country of the United States, which means you're not allowed to work.
But what counts as work, these days? Making a sponsored Instagram post doesn't have quite the same ring as mucking in on a farm.
Mike McMellon is an immigration lawyer based in Nelson and he speaks to Emile Donovan.
