Zusammenfassung: 
Digital nomads strategies and remote working visa regimes have attracted attention of governments in economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. However, in some countries, the execution of the remote working and digital nomads strategies; and amendment of immigration laws been problematic. This paper analysed causes of delays for digital nomads strategy and immigration law amendment in an African country. Using the case for the city of Cape Town in South Africa, the study draws on concepts from public policies and laws model. Secondary data e.g. government strategies, legal documents and media report were analysed using content analysis. The findings showed the complexity of public strategy and law amendments. Lack of capacity in government departments and consultation processes challenges resulted in the delays of the implementation of remote working and digital nomads strategy. Further, attempt to align the Immigration Act 13 of 2002 with other legislations and regulations (e.g. pay as you earn, unemployment insurance fund and skills development levies) contributed to the delays of implementing the remote working visa and digital nomads strategy. The study offers useful insights that can help policymakers to overcome delays in public technology strategies and amendment of legislations.
