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?

[–] Viktri1@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] PrinnySquad@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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).

[–] PrinnySquad@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

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

[–] sd_slate@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

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

The big question is if this is a visa that opens a path to citizenship.

[–] makesterriblejokes@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Probably not. Gives you more time to try to land a spousal visa though lol.
