Good idea but why 1m isk monthly salary? Strange new world if only the ultra rich are welcome. Im sure Iceland would benefit also from average income remote workers.
- basisword 5y agoIs that not about £6k a month? It’s a lot but hardly the ultra rich

- dharmab 5y agoI qualify and I consider myself a regular person living in a flyover state. Certainly neither average nor particularly rich.
- wvlia5 5y ago1m isk/month is not ultra rich, just high income, right?
- healsdata 5y agoUnfortunately, some people can't differentiate between six-figure salaries and billionaires.
- xeromal 5y agoThat's not really a high salary for the people of hackernews in the US and I'm sure most Euro countries.
- asiachick 5y agoIt's not a new world. Plenty of countries will only give you a visa, or rather make it easier for you to get certain kinds of visas, if you make over a certain amount.
- brimble 5y ago> Strange new world if only the ultra rich are welcome. Hardly. Most countries treat the rich differently from everyone else, when it comes to immigration/visas, and have basically forever. It's the overwhelming norm. In plenty of desirable countries you can simply buy your way to permanent residency. And I don't just mean the usual tropical tax havens. For most countries, it's "prove your worth—and it better be damn good—or go away". One way to prove worth is to bring a ton of cash to the table.
