What I find more interesting is the idea that there would ever be an age limit for a visa (other than children). What could possible be the incentive to exclude people in their 40's and 50's, who likely have more money to spend then someone in their 20's?

For example, the Cayman Islands had a pandemic program that required staying at certain bubble properties, which were like $10,000 per interval. Not sure what the interval was, but it was expensive and would accomplish the gatekeeping.

I immigrated in my current country at 26 and it was really easy and warm, and they did everything to quadruple my salary from the european country I came from. Now that I'm close to permanent residency and 33, I'm thinking of jumping again, but with a kid, an giganormous salary and a lot of money to be picky, I expect to be more a burden for the next country than an obvious cheap asset.
