I'll believe it when I see it

Their worry will be abuse from China and SEA

They restrict working holiday visas to just a few countries so could be same here.

doesn't really want immigrants

I mean couldn't they just limit what countries could apply for said nomad visa or put a cap threshold on how many nomad visas can be allocated to a specific country?

Are there any DN visas that say no Chinese are allowed to apply? It seems like a diplomatic nightmare.

Yeah that would probably be more backlash than it's worth, but they could probably put a cap on the number of applicants from each country. I know the US has set caps for each country on how many people born there can get a green card each year.

nor is there any working holiday agreement with them.

There actually is, but only if your passport is issued from Hong Kong (they're technically Chinese citizens).

Ah very good point, I always forget about the separate agreements they have.
