as we have discussed before I think they will only learn once the bridge is already burned. They spent years chasing away Korean tourists (because Korea has a special visa situation where they get all their visas for free) then when the money stopped coming in because of chasing them away the Tourism Authority spent millions in advertising basically begging the Koreans to come back.

I suspect the same thing will happen to the Digital Nomad population and retirees that these new visa laws are inconveniencing to the point where they all just pack up and leave.

no matter! There are plenty of other countries that would love to have a group of people who don't cause any trouble and spend a ton of money on stuff!
