Someone a while ago must have just decided that it would be easier to frustrate people out of getting back to back visas and this would be sufficient to get people to spend their money and get out or something. I dunno, i bet that visa policy changes dramatically for all countries coming up soon as everyone basically be begging for people to come and spend money on tourism, even if it is kind of a fake, extended tour like my own life where I don't actually ever stay at hotels and rarely to go tourist attractions.

I never saw it like that... so, it's just a scam for governments to increase the money coming in from "tourism", eh? That is very possible, indeed. 🤭
well when i first moved to South East Asia in 2004, Vietnam was considered the MOST difficult country to keep long visas for. Thailand in particular had a stance of "don't break any laws, stay as long as you want." Things have changed a lot since then as Vietnam is now (or was) seen as the easiest with the least amount of red tape involved. It will be interesting to see what happens after Covid is behind us because all these economies are going to be willing to take on just about anyone who is willing to spend money there.
At least that is my opinion and hope.
