    Reinstatement Of Visa-Free Entry For Mexican Nationals By Peru

    I think it's a bit risky, though. Doesn't this open the door to potential issues with unregulated migration? I mean, it sounds great for tourism and business, but what about security concerns?

    Japan Unveils New Digital Nomad Visa For Remote Workers

    I think it's a great idea but six months seems short. Why not make it renewable or at least a year? It's hardly enough time to truly experience living in a new country, not to mention the hassle of moving for such a short period.

    Strengthening Immigration Law Enforcement: New Zealand's Enhanced Measures For Employer Compliance

    Isn’t this a bit too harsh though? Thinking about small businesses, for instance, this could potentially put a lot of stress on them. Losing accreditation for a year could mean the end of some of these businesses. Don’t you think there should be some leniency based on the business size?
