Shouldn't rich people be able to get hassle free visas? Why ban them from your country if they just want to live there and spend their money, regardless of whether they earn some more or not?

Just prove you have 100k and you get to stay this many days.

This is the hassle free rich people visa version of South Korea. Prove you earn $XXXXXX, leave $XXXXXX deposit, buy $XXXXX insurance = get a golden visa for two years, then get the hell out.

It's not to accommodate people who might actually want to live there (for whatever crazy reason)

But that means you need to have a job. Which many rich people don't really need or have.

I think many top percenters have income without tradjob, stuff like investment dividends and all that.
